1945 video

1945

A bit of history and Jimmy Durante singing, too, Honolulu, August 14, 1945.

JUST THINK HOW THIS LADY FELT WHEN SHE DISCOVERED THE VIDEO HER FATHER SHOT....


Great video of a Spontaneous Victory Parade in Honolulu in 1945.
Take a look at this video-absolutely fabulous! Notice the cars, jeeps, and
youth. The guys in khaki or gray shirts and black ties are Navy

Officers or Chiefs. The rest are Army or Marine. How young they all

were to do what they did.

This guy really captured a moment in history! (You can listen also to
Jimmy Durante singing "I'll be Seeing You" in the background, too) This is a
super video of a time past - we need to remember and be grateful indeed.
The color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945.
Nothing will ever compare with Kodachrome film.

I got one question:

How many fat people did you see in that video...compare to now....

Very cool!! Don't you get the sense that life was simpler then, and everyone did take time to stop and appreciate what was going on? Nowadays, it's a blip on the news ticker and a Facebook post

Imagine dialing it back to that time at least in the scope of fitness and health.
