My grandfather was once recognized as a veteran soldier during the second World War. During the recognition, he, together with my family (before I was born), was given a chance to be naturalized as full-pledged American citizens because of the service my grandfather has given. For some reason, according to my mom, grandpa didn't sign the papers and everything else needed to become full-house Americans, because according to grandpa, "I have served my country with my whole heart, fighting for freedom. It is only fitting and proper that I, with my family, stay here in the Philippines, and make this my final resting place." Rest in peace *lolo* (granddad in English) 1926-2005 :(

My father fought in WWII and I was born in January 1948. My dad was on a troop ship headed for Japan for the invasion. My mother said he would not fight; the ship was sent back to the US when peace negotiations were underway. The casualty/death rate of the first two waves of US soldiers against Japanese islands was expected to be 30 to 50%. It might have been 90%. Thank God the war ended sooner and more than 400,000 of US lives were saved. -- Kenneth, from Texas, born in Missouri ____________________

Thank you for uploading a valuable video.

This is a most solemn documentary commemorating such a momentous event in world history. For the Japanese, it had to be humiliating: signing the document of surrender aboard an enemy warship in their own backyard. The Code of Bushido did not allow nor recognize surrender, and infected much of the protocol of their military campaigns, and treatment of POWs. Surprisingly, the occupation of Japan went quite smoothy, with MacArthur as commanding general (not sure of his official title during those years). Great video. Very moving. The current anchorage of the BB 63 is the absolutely perfect place for this great ship.

My father was in Vietnam 3 tours, but passed in 1974. My stepfather, who still is living, was in WWII. He never talks about it, but I know many who were in war wont, for good reasons. I am disappointed whenever I see people, who do not realize that war is imminent, and this one was unavoidable, to say the least. Could you imagine the outcome, had the U.S. not been forced into this battle. Hitler had no intentions of stopping with Poland, France, or Denmark. If he had his way, he, and the Japanese would have also had America under their rule. Thank God for the Allies; it was definitely a team effort. The British were a huge part of this victory over the war. What a battle, this video is both sad, and a happy one. Sad, that it took so many innocent lives, but Hitler is in his just place. I know he's not in control where he's at now.

Well happy birthday

Filipino is watching... Both country are part of our history. From Philippines 🇵🇭

The atrocities that Japan committed during its invasion of Korea, China, Philippines, and other South East Asian countries should be taught in school more in depth, right alongside the Holocaust.

MISSOURI.......The heartbeat of America..❤

Emotional moment in history and particularly sad and meaningful to see the japanese walking reluctantly to give up

Meaningful, but not sad. By the time of the surrender, Japan was at war with every country within about five thousand miles of Tokyo. I think you had to go to afghanistan before you found a country not at war with Japan. There was jubilation all over Asia and the pacific. Not too sad. Russia

Peace and prosperity for humanity!

Went to see that ship when I was last in Hawaii. Photographs don't do it justice, it's massive.

I visited that ship a few years ago. I was told that the Navy had its tallest/strongest looking Sailors in the front to show intimidation/what the Japanese would have faced in battle.

We got to visit this amazing Ship. Here is something that happened While we were there. A group of Japanese students and their instructors were at the place of surrender when these two Naval veterans were not happy seeing them. They were actually calling them abusive names. These guys were still angry about the Attack at Pearl Harbor. True story.

I would leave them alone. Students? Good. Welcome them politely, and let the lesson sink in.

My grandfather, Eugene O. Webber, served on the Missouri the entire war and was aboard on this day.

What a glorious time that must be! Finally peace with hopes for a bright future. People must felt so relieved

Salute to Gen Douglas Mac Arthur, deeply in my heart thank you,,

Nobody wins in a war, you may feel triumphant but in reality, everyone loses.

This is really the happiest moment of the world. I really wanna cry for this.

How can you be an American and not be as proud? I ain't even American, I am Bosnian, but I feel proud! Good job America! Good job! May all the people that died rest in peace and their relatives find peace as well! We will always work, pray and hope that nothing like this ever happens. God bless America!

@@juandoli3805 The heck are you supposed to call people from America then? United Statesian? Just call the continents North and South America. People identify themselves by country, not by continent. Get over it. Second, how can you be ashamed of this? The war came to a close because of these bombings. Millions more lives were saved then ended by them as well

@@person3070 we call you gringos in all America, only you call yourselves "americans", but in a formal way you could be US americans, that's the result of a lack of identity, you don't have an original name which represents you. And that's a problem, if I say I love the European football, of course I'm talking about the football ⚽ played in Spain, England, Germany, etc. But if I say, american football, it seems I'm talking about that boring game only played in USA(it should be usa rugby or something like that)🏈. And do you feel proud about a lot of innocent people dying desintegrated and burned? Wow, In a country where the war is part of all your history and culture it doesn't surprise me.
