Unconditional Surrender
The statue commemorates the famous V-J embrace in Times Square, photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt. The statue itself has provided some debate on it's "artistic merit" and spent several years being moved from Florida to San Diego to New Jersey and eventually back to San Diego. Given the large veteran population that resides in the greater San Diego area, it seems an appropriate locale.
Love it or hate it, it's a wonderful photo op, is conveniently located near the USS Midway museum and the nearby Fish Market restaurant is fantastic.
