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).
May these two continue to love each other unconditionally. These two share an amazing bond and I really hope it will continue as Hasbi gets older. If you ask me who Hasbi is closer to when sharing certain things, daddy is the answer. I want him to be comfortable running to his dad even when he’s an adult. Daddy’s boy, always. ❤️

To make peace with my imperfections, I often remind myself of my countless blessings. To be a human is a unique and extraordinary gift, and it's vital to remember the divinity of each individual. By connecting with the beauty of nature, one can reflect the sense of awe they receive from the natural world onto themselves. Accepting imperfection begins with a sense of universal appreciation for the self, earth, and everything in between.

Unconditional Surrender by Seward Johnson based on the famous post-WWII photo by Victor Jorgensen. I saw this statue originally when it was first installed in Times Square. I wasn't able to find information on this, but I know I have photos of it from back then--perhaps 2010.
