Who is the sailor in this kiss?
Who is the sailor in this kiss?
Very interesting.
I have that copy of Life Magazine. One of my favorites!
#2 son had to write a paper for comm college English on this photo—and do it from the perspective of it being a family member.
The local small paper I write gardening articles for had just printed a story about one of the first married women WACS, I think, and how she had to write Eleanor Roosevelt to be allowed to sign up. A local woman, her hubby was already overseas and she was hoping to join him. They never got together until after the war. #2 wrote the paper as if the kissing couple were his grandparents and wove in facts he’d taken from the real story. It was outstanding!
