On this day, September 2, 1945, the Japanese delegation came aboard the battleship USS Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay, and signed the documents of surrender ending World War II. General of the Army Douglas MacArthur presided over the proceedings.

Later, referring to atomic warfare, Gen. MacArthur stated that "science has outmoded warfare." War has not been outmoded, but the way war is waged has changed. The Lord Jesus Christ stated there will be "wars and rumors of wars" as long as the World stands.

As George Washington put it, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."*

Let us, as a nation, never, ever let our guard down.

Bob, as much as I hate to say it, we (USA) have let our guard down. Re: illegal invaders (from the south), Muslim extremists, far left wing Democrats in Congress. Need I say more????

In true MacArthur fashion the Japanese surrender was much more carefully choreographed and dramatic than the German surrenders in Europe.
