Representing hope and freedom, a 25 foot, 6,000 pound statue named, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, by world-renowned artist, J. Seward Johnson, is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor, Carl Muscarello, kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.
Edith Shain, the nurse memorialized in Eisenstaedt’s photo, states, "There is so much romance in the statue; it gives such a feeling of hope to all who look at it."
“This statue brings back so many memories of peace, love and happiness. During the moment of the kiss I don’t remember much, it happened so fast and it happened at the perfect time. I didn’t even look at the Sailor who was kissing me,” Shain continued. “I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment like any woman would have done.”
For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego Bay. It was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Florida in 2006.

The riddle of the what happened to the original Carrington's beaver has been answered. Sorry to see this happen buddy, you touched so many lives.
The Packard automobile, particularly the 1952 model, was a paragon of luxury and innovation. The Packard 300 from 1952 was a true American luxury liner on wheels, boasting a Straight 8 engine with 327 cu in (5.4 L) displacement, delivering 150 HP. It featured a 3-speed manual transmission with optional overdrive and a liquid-cooled system, ensuring a smooth and powerful ride. The vehicle's 0-60 time was estimated at 15 seconds, with a top speed of 100 mph, which was quite impressive for its time. The design was marked by its iconic "Cathedral" taillights and the unmistakable Packard Clipper theme, which included a long hood and short rear deck. Inside, the Packard 300 offered a luxurious experience with rich fabrics and top-tier materials, alongside technological advancements like power steering—a rarity in the ‘50s.
The Packard Motor Car Company started producing automobiles in 1899 and continued until 1958. The brand was renowned for its high-quality luxury vehicles and was considered a symbol of prestige. However, after World War II, Packard struggled to compete with the Big Three (General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler) and maintain its position in the luxury car market. The company merged with Studebaker in 1954, but disagreements among executives and financial difficulties led to the decline of the Packard brand. The last true Packard rolled off the production line on June 25, 1956, in Detroit, Michigan.
