Review of Battleship Missouri Memorial

Well-structured, tightly written and nicely narrated, this news drop-in is full of interesting anecdotes about the Battleship Missouri. There's also good use of sound including brief historic archive recording of General MacArthur. The speakers are engaging and I'd prefer to have heard more of them and a little less of the reporter. But still a perfect addition to Labor Day weekend programming to commemorate Sept 2 anniversary of the Japenese surrender ending WWII.
