One of those things that help define our country.
Down on the waterfront in San Diego there's a statue commemorating the kiss seen around the world.
As you might expect, the statue and the story behind have become moderately controversial in recent years. The 1940s were a very different time than the 2020s, after all.
Some folks are now uncomfortable due to the fact that the nurse was grabbed without her permission. Now I don't want to be controversial but history is history. You have the right to not like it but you don't have the right to erase it.

This is the best angle I could get, there was a ton of folks there all trying to snap their loved ones in the same pose. Once again, those danged tourists getting in my way! I do like that I was able to get the Midway in the background though.
I looked at photos online and tried to recreate the look of the original. You can get close with software but there's something about film that you can't quite capture.

To mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day I would like to feature my book, 'The Curse of the Rising Sun' which is about my father's time as a POW in Japan. His name was Emrys Withey. It begins with a deadly journey from Singapore to Japan in a 'hellship' and goes on to recount the ordeals he and those with him faced in their struggle to survive.
My father, who was a wireless operator in Malaya with the RAF, was captured on the Indonesian island of Java. On reaching Japan he was taken to a remote mountainous region in the far north of the country, where he and others were set to work in an iron-ore mine. Not only did they endure forced labour, but also savage brutality and near-stavation on a daily basis.
As a prisoner he forged a unique relationship with Japanese people with whom he worked, became fluent in the language, and as the leader of his working party saved the lives of a number of prisoners who otherwise would have died because they were too sick to work. By standing up for them he often became a target of his captors' anger.
In all, he was held in four different POW camps, including two in Java and one in Singapore. He puts down his survival to his upbringing in the valley town of Blaina, South Wales, where as a child he experienced poverty and hardship during the depression which hit the coal mining communities.
The book is a must read with excellent reviews and is available on Amazon as a hardcover, paperback and kindle edition.
