A wonderful and moving series of pictures. Back in the late 1970’s my submarine stopped the ship yard in Bremerton, Washington where the USS Missouri was docked in the ship graveyard. I wandered over there one day and ask if I could get on board. The guy standing security watch said; “Go ahead, we let people do it all the time.” I was the only living soul on the ship for about an hour. Standing right on the spot where the “Instrument of Surrender” was signed was very moving. The Missouri is now located on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor (my home port back in the day) where visitors can visit and honor those who sacrificed so much for their country. We are quickly losing the greatest generation and our world will be worse off for the loss.

One of the saddest days in our history never to be forgotten. The tears, the sadness and all the bad memories. You have displayed this day with dignity. Very well done.

Wonderful images, Michelle! I hope that we never as a country of free men and women forget the incredible sacrifices that have been made by so many. Like Gregory, I have had the opportunity to visit the USS Missouri and stand on the spot where the "Instrument of Surrender" occurred. As a student of history and as an American, it was a very emotional moment for me. God bless the gallant men and women who have served and sacrificed so much for our freedom! May they never be forgotten! Michael

Great capture and editing on the featured photo. Wonderful series as well. I was too young for Viet Nam, too old for the Gulf War but I am very grateful to those who served then and those who serve now.

I'm sure I commented on this last night but it was not under another photographer's name, how strange. I think BP were having a few hiccups last night. Anyway, back to business, you certainly have covered the ceremony so well and so eloquently. A fantastic series of images Michelle.

What a wonderful tribute to such a sad chapter of history. Your documentary is amazing and so well captured and written. I loved the follow up photos. Great job of cloning . . no one would have guessed if you hadn't told us. Visiting Pearl Harbour is still on my bucket list . . . . and I am Canadian. What a gift you have for combining your journalism skills with your photography skills. Your tribute moved me to tears, I can't imagine what it would have been like had I been there. Hats off to you.

An amazing series here, Michelle, so moving. Loved all the photos and, of course, your excellent commentary, as always. You always manage to be in the right place at the right time to witness and document these commemorations of our history. We are fortunate that you share it with us. I didn't think to check, but discovered (after the fact) that there was a commemoration with "laying of the wreath" in our town, too.

You have such a special gift for combining words and images to create special memorable records of memorable moments. Mr. Straus is in a rapidly diminishing group of men who served our Country in WWII. He lived our history, and as such, he deserves to be honored and to be heard. It is lovely to know that someone recognized that. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
