Victory Kiss

The Pacific West Bank, the beautiful country of Santiago Port, the water and sky, the picturesque scenery, the most eye-catching landscape, is the "kiss of victory" sculpture by the sea. At noon on August 15, 1945 (August 14, local time), Emperor Hirohito of Japan broadcast to Japan, announcing his acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation and unconditional surrender to the Allies. The news soon reached the United States, New Yorkers took to the streets, Times Square was crowded, people celebrated the victory of the war, peace. A sailor could not help but hug a female nurse who had never known her, kissed, and expressed his joy. Life magazine photographer Alfred Eisenstadt captured the exciting kissing scene, which became a classic after the sailor and nurse kissed, called the kiss of victory. The "Kiss of Victory" statue, made in the original form of the photo, was settled in February 2007 in the salmon port park of San Diego port, accompanied by the aircraft carrier Midway, separated by water. The blue seaside, the green tree, the tall statue of7.62 meters (25 feet) tall, elegant and lifelike. The endless stream of tourists licking their shapes and lickings, sharing the joy of victory...

The real scene of “Kiss of Victory” took place in Times Square, New York, on August 14, 1945 (August 15, Beijing time), when Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and New Yorkers took to the streets to celebrate the victory. A sailor kissed a female nurse at a celebration in Times Square, a moment captured by Life magazine photographer Alfred Eisenstadt, became a classic historical picture. Since then, hundreds of men and women have recreated the “Kiss of Victory Day” in Times Square on August 14 to commemorate the end of World War II. As a memorial, the statue of the "Kiss of Victory" settled in the port of San Diego in February 2007, although the controversy in the United States was very large after it was built, but it did not prevent people around the world from flocking to it. The more dramatic thing is that the two did not know each other, and the "kiss" has not been seen since, even if there are good reporters who have invited the two people many times. The "kiss of victory" daughter, nurse Greta Friedman, died in Virginia on September 8, 2016, aged 92; George Mendoza, the man, died on February 17, 2019, aged 95.

The kiss of victory is definitely worth coming here to punch in and take pictures, leaving a memorial, you know that this is a classic picture of World War II victory, even the textbook has this photo, it is definitely worth a good look.
