The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
In the tasting room, at ...
Halethorpe, Maryland.

Still life study of a Chess set. Shot in a bedroom/home-made studio. Blacked out my bedroom and using a long exposure I could manually fire a flash gun at roughly 100 degrees anti-clockwise to the camera and very slightly above the set up to cast fantastic shadows acoss the board. I had the camera on a 2 second self timer to give me time to get into position and trigger the flash. I held a reflector to the left of the chess board to reflect light back into the scene. This is an experiment of still life subjects in preperation for a college requirement.
A U.S. Army color guard and firing detail from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) were part of the opening ceremonies April 9, 2015, for a special observance and reenactment for the 150th anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Va. The Old Guard served at Appomattox in 1865. The event featured hundreds of Civil War reenactors, such as those shown here, and thousands of spectators. (Photos courtesy Kim and Mary Jane Holien)
