Here’s a bunch of GIs in Iraq or Afghanistan. Right? Wrong. They’re sailors on a PT boat in Manila Harbor on August 15, 1945, just after they heard the news that World War II was ending. The photo proves that American serving in wartime are the same throughout history.

Question 1: Recognize any of these Navy PT sailors? Question 2: What’s that extra hand doing in the lower right? Got any vintage wartime or other long-ago travel photos and accompanying information you want our readers to see? Send them to www.travel55plus.com
