A Time When Americans Were Truly Americans




On a tip from
Ed Kilbane
Senior National Correspondent 



A young lady recently discovered this movie of a Spontaneous Victory Parade in Honolulu taken by her farther in 1945. 



If one could create a time machine and transport these faithful, unwavering, not to mention brave Americans from 1945 to 2011 they wouldn't recognize the America of today. And I'm not talking about technology. 


I think they would say...Crank up the machine I wanna go back.


This is a movie of a time long past - a time of patriotism an devotion- we need to remember and be THANKFUL. Check out the color fidelity. It's not bad for 1945. Nothing will ever compare with Kodachrome film.









(For those of us old enough to remember)

"GOOD NIGHT, Mrs. Calabash--wherever you are!"
