Pure joy at achieving a major victory...where it was all out and holding nothing back...there was NO substitute for Victory...no second place......all or nothing.....some of you are old enough to remember the celebrations...I wasn't...but it must a nice feeling knowing that we won the fight for our freedom...
A bit of history and Jimmy Durante, too
LOST FILM - Honolulu, August 14, 1945.
JUST THINK HOW THIS YOUNG LADY FELT WHEN SHE DISCOVERED THE VIDEO HER FATHER SHOT.
Great video of a Spontaneous Victory Parade in Honolulu in 1945. Take a look at this video-absolutely fabulous! Notice the cars, jeeps, and 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 all 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.
