The most famous kiss of the 20th century was captured almost 64 years ago (08/15/1945) in Times Square New York as a sailor smooched a nurse in celebration of the end of World War II. It was a superb moment of victory, submission and love captured forever on film by the great Life photographer, Albert Eisenstaedt. The moment lives on in Sarasota, Florida by way of a larger than life aluminum sculpture by Seward Johnson pictured above.
