The war is over!! World War II finally came to an end on V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day), the day Japan surrenders after American A-Bombs changed their minds. In New York City, after receiving the news, a Navy sailor grabs a nurse and kisses her in Time Square. The question is, whose the couple?! For many years, everyone has been curious over who the sailor is and who the nurse is in this famous photograph after the end of the long war was over. I love this photo because it shows stress and anxiety being set free after such a long time. Navy, Marines, Army, and everyone else in the military can finally quit fighting against people who believed only certain people should override others. Nurses will have less soldier wounds to treat, citizens will no longer have to make equipment for the War, and sons and daughters won't have to die over seas from World War II. Many soldiers were killed fighting, and many citizens attacked without warning sometimes. After many years of this mystery of who the sailor was in the photo, he has finally come forward. Glenn McDuffie was identified through many different tests through the photo and himself. http://www.amny.com/news/local/am-kiss0814,0,447049.story
