On VJ Day (Victory over Japan) following World War II, photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt took this memorable photo in New York's Times Square, later published in Life Magazine, that soon became an iconic image of the euphoria at wars end. The photo is now immortalized as a 20 foot statue on the San Diego Bay Embarcadero adjacent to the USS Midway Memorial Museum.(Additional images of the original WW II photographs can be viewed here.)
