OK, I am early by three weeks, but I couldn't wait on this one. In color, no less...

Color video footage found after sitting for 65 years. It’s video taken of VJ day in Honolulu. August 14, 1945. 65 Years ago Richard Sullivan shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender.

Bumping this up. Mr Sullivan apparently has replaced his earlier video with a better quality one.

Brought tears to this old man's eyes. Thank you.
