Unconditional Surrender! VJ Day Kiss!

This sculpture of the iconic Life Magazine photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt is amazing! Black and White HAD to be done! Especially as one of my dear contacts reminded me, today June 6, 2009 is the 65th anniversary of D-Day!

 

The Greatest Generation kept us in motion in our industrial revolution. The people of our young country less than one hundred years after our own Civil War reached out to the world, and served. Our global reputation in the in recent years was so awful. The world seemed to have forgotten all of the times The United States stepped up. I hope the tides are turning because this country is made up of mostly good eggs. I guess sometimes the bad eggs just stink so much or are so LOUD, it’s difficult to focus on the good ones! Okay, enough about eggs! Thank you so much to all who have served and serve today!

 

I took this on the way back from Save Our Seabirds at the stoplight. I think the car in the back gives it a bit of scale, but again, 25 feet is pretty HUGE! Hugs and Kisses, and thanks for viewing!
