Description
At the Midway, an aircraft carrier anchored here in San Diego, that doubles as a museum. The statue they're in front of is from a famous WWII photo of a woman and her sailor. ^^
EDIT: My mistake, I didn't do my research.
Alfred Eisenstaedt of LIFE took the photograph of a sailor kissing a nurse at the Times Square celebration on August 15, 1945, at the end of World War II. At this moment the sailor and nurse were complete strangers. When WWII was announced over Time Square went crazy and this sailor grabbed the first woman he saw, who was this nurse. The photograph was one of many Eisenstaedt took that day, and he didn’t bother getting the names of anyone. Only after seeing the proofs did he realize that he had captured a decisive moment. On the 50th anniversary of the photograph, the two people were identified as Edith Shain and Carl Muscarello.
