One of those pieces that you listen to when you need a refreshing look at peace and war. The USS Missouri is an iconic figure in both ideals. Reporter does a great job in tying in familiar voices of history to help the listener visualize the life and times of the Mighty Mo. Perfect timing so the world will not only honor the end of WWII on Sept.2, but so we can relate our past to our future.
