Today the giant pinup lady is visiting the Mighty Mo, on whose decks Japan signed their Terms of Surrender formally on September 2, 1945. Why is she on the Mo today, 8/14/2005? Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s surrender on 8/15/1945, Japan time, and the US celebrates VJ day today, August 14. Today truly marks the end of World War II. (Unfortunately, I lost this photo when I moved from Typepad to WordPress, and I do not have it in my hard drive or archives. Sigh)
