I am saddened to see what we were like as a nation then and compare it to what we are like as a nation today.

Very cool, to say the least.

Thanks for sharing.

I never expected to start the morning with tears. What a find, thank you for sharing it.

As an aside, I was born on VE Day and my Father wrote in my baby book, "The whole world celebrated the day of your birth, but none more than I."

Scoured that baby. No sign of Obama.

Thank you very much, Gerard.

That is an incredible film, and fantastic quality. Was it cleaned up, color-balanced, or otherwise processed?

I have to say, though, that I have never understood the appeal of Jimmy Durante.

Wow...just wow.

Thanks, Gerard, for the look into the world of my parents' youth. There's lots of snapshots of those days tucked away in a drawer, but a movie (color, no less!) really brings those days to life.

It helps me to imagine my father as an 18-year-old sailor, fresh out of Navy boot camp, or my mother as a high-school junior. It's a tough thing for me to do-- for me, my parents were always middle-aged (they were in their middle 30s when I was born in '62).

Thanks for the prod to the ol' imagination. Dad is a dozen years gone; and Mom is 82 now, and her mind is beginning to slip a bit.

Those celebrations will be harryreided, uh, dwarfed, if this Nov's elections reprise the numbers of the Great Marianas Turkey shoot. And those made insignificant if Pres. Noisome Pestilence ever retires the debt by committing seppuku on pay-per-view.

That was great. Thanks for posting it.

And it was great for so many reasons: style, cars, dress, general classiness of the people filmed. We have changed so much as a nation since VJ Day.

I've been watching MAD MEN on DVD recently. Fiction, I know, but a window nonetheless into life after victory and WWII.

I know that most everyone in the film is under thirty...yet they have a maturity and "weight" that I just don't see in our current crop of "adults".

I wonder if we will ever have a moment like that again.

My mother would have been four years old! My father would have been 9. I looked at all those skipping little kids and marveled at how many of them are now great grandparents!

A most impressive look at a most important day, from so many years ago. Thank you for sharing this.

Although I was born just shy of ten years after that date, we were reminded, as kids, about not only VJ Day, but VE Day, and the reason we entered the war in the first place.

I wonder how many parents are reminding their children today, about what treats we are facing, and why?
