Our Downtown has statues scatter around and the Sail and Nurse are one of them. Now we have cameras watching them just in case.

Only Americans who were living at the time can fully appreciate the symbolic beauty of that spontaneous kiss, as well as the reaction it elicited among Americans, regardless of whether they were male or female!

Only citizens alive on that day can know the majestic feeling of hearing church bells ringing, of hearing horns blowing, of hearing the happy voices of mothers, fathers, children and the old people as they knew that glorious feeling of having the burden of war being lifted from their communities!

Only ignorance and lack of empathy can produce the ugly criticisms of that spontaneous kiss that are being voiced by recipients of the blessings of liberty bought by that sailor and his peers in all the services!

Enough already!! Do something for your country and for liberty! Stop the division and smearing of the images of that period when tyranny was stopped in its tracks, allowing your generation to enjoy "the blessings of liberty" you never earned as that sailor and his peers in all the services earned for all of us!
