The Yank report on the Japanese surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay:

"We are gathered here, representatives of the major warring powers, to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored."

Those were the words of General Douglas MacArthur when he opened the Japanese Surrender Proceedings on board the deck of the American battleship, Missouri on the morning of September 2, 1945. This report was filed by Yank correspondent Dale Kramer, who amusingly noted that all concerned were dressed in a manner fitting the occasion, with the exception of the American officers who (oddly) seemed unable to locate their neckties that morning.
