World War II veterans, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and a number of other dignitaries and invited guests gathered Wednesday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the World War II with a ceremony aboard the USS Missouri. “It was on the Battleship Missouri — at 9:02 a.m. on Sept. 2, 1945 — that the Japanese formally surrendered to the Allies in a ceremony that ended the deadliest conflict in human history.” Secretary Esper said. The ceremony took place on the Missouri’s fantail, looking out toward Pearl Harbor — where Japan’s surprise attack on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941 threw the US into war. Organizers limited attendance at the Missouri ceremony to Hawaii veterans and a smaller list of other guests because of the risk of travelling during the pandemic.
