It Happened Today: JFK Elected President

"The New Frontier"

I always felt I belonged in the 50's or 60's. I adored the Jackie Kennedy sense of conservative fashion and that state of mind, where a woman was letting her voice be heard.  I appreciated that politics and world leaders were about doing something and rallying the new generation for the better.  I believe that the days of RFK's speeches were masterful--full of hope and reality, that his words would resonate with you for days to come. I believe in that time, that men and women were about paving the way for their children and their children's children--it was about unity and family.

A "Kiss" that ended  a WAR!!
Known to the world simply as "The Kiss", Alfred Eisenstaedt's black-and-white photograph of an unidentified sailor kissing nurse Edith Shain in 1945, marked the end of WWII.  The photo was published in Life Magazine, and was made the most famous kiss in the world. 
 

To commemorate the 65th anniversary of the U.S. victory over Japan (V-J Day), a 26 foot statue representing the image has been put on display at Times Square.
