Displaced Beachbums

On 2 Sept 1945, the Japanese officially surrendered on the deck of the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, bringing an end to World War II. 1,365 days earlier was the beginning of the U.S. entrance into WWII when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It’s fitting the USS Missouri is now a floating Naval Museum at Pearl Harbor.

We had the opportunity to visit the USS Missouri in May during a stopover in Hawaii on our way to Guam. FM is standing at the location where the surrender was signed. If you’re ever in Hawaii, the USS Missouri is well worth a visit. Very interesting history on board.
