A man at our church is a WW2 vet. He joined the Navy when he was 17 years old. He was on a destroyer at Normandy on D-day. He sneaked aboard the USS Missouri and hid behind an air vent and witnessed the signing that ended the war. He was quoted in a newspaper article about this. “We stayed by that air vent going into the ship, kind of hiding behind it. And I could just see the hundreds, of these Allied officers. Not just our officers but officers from other countries that were all in their Khakis. We stayed there and all of these officers are standing around and there’s Gen. MacArthur and across the table were these Japanese men all in their swallowtail coats and silk hats. Oh boy they were all gussied up”.
