25-foot-tall, 6,000-pound sculpture called “Unconditional Surrender” near Tuna Harbor in downtown San Diego. J. Seward Johnson created the artwork of a sailor kissing a nurse based on a photo taken on the day World War II ended. For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum.

"That's rather risky, sir. Are you sure you want to?"
"Of course.' Mark answered, 'getting captured'll be easier than falling off a log."
The two men smiled as they plodded their way through the abandoned and destroyed town.
"Anyway, getting captured will be the quickest way for me to get inside information on enemy plans. They won't harm me- I'm seen as a good ransom by those cowardly rats."
"Well, I wish you luck, sir and be safe!"
---------
Getting captured was indeed easier than falling off a log- Mark wandered along until he saw a group of the Queen's troops, he then gasped and darted into an abandoned building, dropping his sword in the process.
Within minutes Mark was chained to a horse and being dragged to an enemy encampment.

After receiving a gift book/CD set from my friend Christine, I listened to one of the chants:
“Happiness is here and now, I have dropped my worries.
Nowhere to go, nothing to do, no longer in a hurry.
Happiness is here and now, I have dropped my worries.
Somewhere to go, something to do. But not in a hurry.”
—from “A Basket of Plums, Songs in the Traditions of Thich Nhat Hanh”, collected and set to music by Joseph Emet
after singing it awhile other words came to my mouth:
Happiness is yours to choose, no matter what is happening.
Make Love your guide, give God your cares and bow in sweet surrender.

Joshua SURRENDERED to sleep before 3pm on the first day of preschool
We surrender. Erin and I will be returning to the US in three weeks. Rather than spend our precious time hopelessly trying to keep the blog updated, we're temporarily giving up.
When we get back to America and have a bit of spare time, we plan on blogging the rest of the trip. Whether that will actually happen or not, we don't know.
Although it's been great to keep y'all in the loop, the primary purpose of this blog for us has been to preserve some memories before they all jumble together in our minds. Since we want to remember the last six weeks of the trip, we theoretically ought to be inspired to finish the posts.
In the meantime, we plan on spending more of our time in hammocks, and less in internet cafes.
I have never liked the game of Risk, I don't think I am ruthless enough. I never want to wipe someone out completely. My husband never had a problem wiping me out! Choice: fight on or surrender!

" No Surrender " 1985 Film - A seedy night club is double booked by The Orange Lodge and Catholics in fancy dress .
No Surrender is a dark humour Alan Bleasdale film.
Set in Liverpool in the 1980's, it has many sub plots going on at the same time involving 2 sets of pensioners (one Catholic and the other Protestant), a band who can't play, a magician who can't do magic, an underworld gangland boss torturing the previous manager, a group of very old mentally handicaped patents and enough bad language to make a Chubby Brown show look PG!!!!
A normal night out these days.

You say you have a plan for me
And that you want the best for my life
Told me the world had yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to Your calling
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever
If I give them now to You
Will You take them away forever?
Or can I dream again?
Surrender, surrender you whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see?
My dreams are me.
sometimes I forget that He is in control of my life. that what I want might not be what His plan is for me. and that sometimes things might not happen in the way that I want them to but He is still in control of my life and I need to surrender to Him.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
He has a plan for me, for my future, for now and for my life and I should trust Him. whether it's what I'm going to do later in my life or a test in school I need to trust that He is in control and He is doing what is best for my life. and sometimes I don't listen to Him and I wonder why everything is not going the way I want it to and everything is so horrible. but really I just need to surrender my life to Him. because He is in control, and He won't let me fall.

102/365 I Surrender My Heart To You.
This is dedicated to Christian Freear (my boyfriend) who I have been away from now for nearly a week (longest time in over 3 years).
I did have another picture, which looked better than this but I had to choose this as it means more to me....I miss you xx

My Father was one of the men on the USS Missouri that witnessed the official surrender by the Emperor of Japan, Hirohito
"She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood..."
"Even though I know what I'm looking for
She's got a brick wall behind her door
I'd travel time and confess to her
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger..."

3702. Alighting from a US Army Air Force C-54 transport plane, the 16-man Japanese peace delegation had arrived in Manila on August 20, five days after Emperor Hirohito had broadcast Japan's acceptance of unconditional surrender to the Japanese people.
The head of the delegation, Lieutenant General Torashiro Kawabe, the deputy chief of the Japanese Army's general staff , is the braided officer at the bottom of the steps, left, with his aide-de=-campe beside him.
The military officer on the steps, behind the white-suited civilian envoy is Rear Admiral Ichiro Yokoyama.
We have no details of the USAAF officers saluting in the foreground - the man facing may be the aircraft pilot.
With suspicion and animosity still factors, the arrival of the military and civilian commission [the 'peace delegation' ] had been intricately planned. The delegation had flown from Tokyo in two specially marked 'Betty' bombers. to le Shima island, near Okinawa, and there transferred to the U.S. transport plane. Their purpose was to negotiate the manner in which the surrender would be carried out in Tokyo.
We have garnered these few facts from notes that accompany photographs from the Collection of Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, and which are shown on the US Navy's Historical Center website.
You can see those further images of the delegation's well-guarded arrival and transfer en route at le Shima here:
