thanks for that article!
Call me cynical but I'm surprised the AP didn't try and get to comment on the Iraq war at the end...

What paper would run that picture today? It's too politically incorrect: it's heteronormative, portrays warmongers in a positive light, serves as a display of patriarchal male dominance, and perpetuates the holocaust against Americans of Color by not showing any. ;)

It's really obvious that the kissing guy is Frank Sinatra.

But the sailor's identity remains a mystery.
He was probably married and didn't exactly want to raise his hand! ;-)

The sailor wason Fox & Friends yesterday morning. It has been proven that he is the one. What's more, his wife-to-be wasstanding in the background. He said he kissed the nurse because nurses had evacuated and cared for some of his buddies after one of the battles.

I have to admit I've always just loved looking at that picture....so much is in that one shot.

It's nice to know a bit of the story.

Two different views. Must have been a 'long' kiss.

That was when America was really America. If such a thing happened today, the man would have been charged with sexual assualt, thrown in prison, and labeled a sex offender.

"I let him kiss me because he had been in war and he fought for me," Shain said of the sailor.

I wonder if she was part of Operation Take One For The Country....
