It's time to close this blog.
I offer my last post, a link to a film captured by Naval Officer Richard Sullivan on VJ Day and I encourage you to visit all of his websites.
Aloha, until we meet again.
Dee Buckingham
Here is the text for Sullivan's VJ Day film:65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version There are more still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com

I just discovered your blog and now you're closing it! Auwe!! I will enjoy reading all of it.
My parents watched Pearl Harbor get bombed; they were living on Tantalus before I was born, and it was a scary time for them. I'm sure your blog will add to my knowledge of what they went through.
Mahalo!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your wonderful history. I am sure there are many others who appreciate your work as much as I have.
The best to you.
Just found your blog...thank you for all the hard work...Bless you
Just curious why did you close your blog? I just came across it. Thank you for all the information and your time taken to put it together. God Bless.
Thank you, dear lady, for a most interesting and enjoyable blog! I read an article about whether a photo of women firefighters was taken on December 7, 2041, which gave you full credit for finding the truth & led me to your blog.
I will be posting on my Moms Hugs blog about your "women of WWII in Hawaii" blog & your novels. Friends & family will appreciate your stories as much as I have.
Hugs ~ Moms
