From email - sorry if this has been posted before but I hadn't seen it;

The long-awaited, much-deserved joy is very apparent here!

Great video of a Spontaneous Victory Parade in Honolulu in 1945. Take a
look at this video-absolutely fabulous! Notice the cars and jeeps, youth.
The guys in khaki or gray shirts and black ties are Navy officers or chiefs.
The rest are Army or Marine. How young they al l were to do what they did.

This guy really captured a moment in history! (You can listen to Jimmy
Durante singing "I'll be Seeing You" in the background, too) This is a
super video of a time past - we need to remember and be THANKFUL. Check out
the color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945. Nothing will ever compare with
Kodachrome film.
