{Famous Kiss} WWII Kiss Unveiled in Times Square

Sunday, August 15, 2010


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.
