| "We are gathered here....so that peace may be restored." Broadcast across the world on September 2, 1945,these words spoken by General Douglas MacArthur commemorated Japan's formal surrender in Tokyo Bay aboard the battleship USS Missouri. Finally WWII had ended. This historic frame print was taken as MacArthur inked his signature to the surrender instrument. Below the photograph is an actual piece of teak planking recovered from the deck of the USS Missouri during her 2009 overhaul. Sure to inspire faith in America's resolve, this impressive showpiece is strictly limited and available on a first come first served basis. |
