The story behind this statue: There was a picture taken of this couple on V-J Day (1945). It was just announced the end of the war and he grabbed the first nurse and placed a kiss on her. This was taken in Time Square in New York. It took awhile to find out who these two people were. The women was found out years ago (late 1970's, but wasn't until 2008 before the man stepped forward that was in the picture.

This statue is on the Harbor next to USS Midway Aircraft Carrier.
