I think this is neat

70 years ago today the Empire of Japan signed the documents of surrender aboard the USS Missouri, officially ending a world war they began in 1937 with the invasion of China (we did not join the war, of course, until after Pearl Harbor, and the European theater erupted in 1939) A sailor aboard made these cards and gave one to each of the men present; when Admiral Nimitz asked for extras to pass out at HQ, the sailor politely declined the request.
