New York, New York

:02:12

God bless America!
We made it back!

:02:35

Times Square, believe me.
is wall-to-wall people.

:02:38

human beings bent on having
the 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 Square
at this very minute.

:03:01

people are deliriously happy.

:03:03

They're holding up newspapers
with huge 8-to-10 inch headlines...

:03:07

"V-J Day." it says.
"War's End." "It's Over. "

:03:11

Now they're hugging
and kissing each other.

:03:13

shouting words
of cheer and encouragement.

:03:15

And still, paper by the ton keeps
flowing 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 those
people in show business

:03:29

who traveled the world

:03:30

entertaining our men and women
overseas and here at home.

:03:37

Times Square is happy.
New York is happy.

:03:39

the United States is happy.
and the world is at peace.
