[PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii -- James Starnes will never forget the day World War II officially ended with Japan's formal surrender. He was only 24 on Sept. 2, 1945, when Japanese officials boarded the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay and signed the documents.] It was a tremendous emotional moment, ... It was such a relief to know that war was over, that peace had come.
— James Starnes
