Cinnamon Teals are another one of my favorite birds. I haven't been able to get a good flight shot...yet, but got a couple wing-flap shots. :)
This is a plaque built into the deck of the USS Missouri. It reads "Over this spot on 2 September 1945 the instrument of formal surrender of Japan to the allied powers was signed thus bringing o a close the second world war -- The ship at that time was at anchor in Tokyo Bay." I forgive the fact that there is absolutely no punctuation of which to speak.

"Unconditional Surrender", a 25-foot statue created by renowned artist J. Seward Johnson, was temporarily taken down from its location along the bayfront in Sarasota, FL so that it can undergo maintenance in New Jersey. It was dismantled in three sections.
Appomattox Court House National Historical Park is the preserved 19th-century village named Appomattox Court House in Appomattox County, Virginia. The village was named for the building now preserved as the 'Old Appomattox Court House.' The village is the site of the Battle of Appomattox Court House, and contains the McLean House, where the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee to Union commander Ulysses S. Grant took place on April 9, 1865. This event is widely symbolic as the end of the American Civil War.
The village itself began as the community of Clover Hill, which was made the county seat of Appomattox County in the 1840s. The village of Appomattox Court House entered a stage of decline after it was bypassed by a railroad in 1854.
In 1930, the United States War Department was authorized to erect a monument at the site, and in 1933 the War Department's holdings there were transferred to the National Park Service. The site was greatly enlarged in 1935, and a restoration of the McLean House, delayed by World War II, followed. In 1949, the restored McLean House was reopened to the public. Several restored buildings (including the McLean House and the courthouse), as well as a number of original 19th-century structures are situated at the site.
In early April 1865, during the end of the American Civil War, Confederate States Army forces commanded by General Robert E. Lee were being pursued by Union Army troops commanded by Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. Trapped at Appomattox Court House, Lee's troops attacked on April 9 in the Battle of Appomattox Court House, but were unsuccessful. That day, Lee met with Grant to discuss terms of surrender at the McLean House. After discussion, Lee signed surrender terms that day, and on April 12, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia laid down its arms and marched away. While the war continued after the surrender of Lee's army, the surrender at Appomattox Court House has become widely symbolic of the defeat of the Confederacy. The war's end did not stop the decline of the village, and when the county's records were destroyed in an 1892 courthouse fire, it was decided to move the county seat to the railroad community at Appomattox Station, which became the town of Appomattox.
The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.

Like Yorktown, the defeated army had to surrender their arms. Unlike Yorktown, the mood was more somber and incredulous than angry. Confederate soldiers piled their guns along the roads. Upon receipt of their paroles, they just went home.
All these men, after all these years, here, they just walked away. That was it.
