The Japanese Instrument of Surrender was signed by the last Japanese representative at 9:04 AM on September 2, 1945, known as VJ day to Allied forces. Afterward, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Commander in the Southwest Pacific and Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, also signed. He accepted the Japanese surrender "for the United States, Republic of China, United Kingdom, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and in the interests of the other United Nations at war with Japan." It marked the formal end of World War II. The document was signed on the deck of the US battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. On September 6, Colonel Bernard Theilen brought the document and an imperial rescript to Washington, DC and on the following day presented them to President Harry Truman in a formal White House ceremony. The documents were then exhibited at the National Archives. The opening paragraph illustrates the importance attached to the Japanese Emperor, while the second gets to the heart of the matter by declaring the unconditional surrender of Japan. The full text of the Instrument of Surrender read as follows: INSTRUMENT OF SURRENDER
