God bless America!We made it back!
:02:35
Times Square, believe me.is wall-to-wall people.
:02:38
human beings bent on havingthe greatest party ever
:02:41
and being in on a bit of this history.
:02:44
What a night this is!What a thrill!
:02:46
Our boys are coming home.
:02:48
and a lot of them are here right now.right in the middle of this chaos.
:02:52
I've talked to them.
:02:54
They're from Arkansas.;Colorado.; Seattle. Washington.;
:02:56
Los Angeles.;Aberdeen. Washington.
:02:58
Looking around Times Squareat this very minute.
:03:01
people are deliriously happy.
:03:03
They're holding up newspaperswith huge 8-to-10 inch headlines...
:03:07
"V-J Day." it says."War's End." "It's Over. "
:03:11
Now they're huggingand kissing each other.
:03:13
shouting wordsof cheer and encouragement.
:03:15
And still, paper by the ton keepsflowing out of the windows
:03:18
high, high above us.
:03:25
... and the USO shows, too.
:03:27
Our hats are off to all of thosepeople in show business
:03:29
who traveled the world
:03:30
entertaining our men and womenoverseas and here at home.
:03:37
Times Square is happy.New York is happy.
:03:39
