Cattie and the V-J Day Kiss

The iconic photograph known as the "V-J Day Kiss" has always been a global phenomenon - and for those of you who didn't know, the sailor and nurse depicted in the photograph have been identified as Glenn McDuffie and Edith Shain.

There's something very adrenaline-inducing about staring at the depicted pair in the V-J Day Kiss. They are not a couple -- he is a simple sailor who was lost in the throes of relief that the terrible war was at an end, and had swooped a nurse into a celebratory kiss. Chances are, if you were a soldier in uniform in Times Square after V-J Day was announced, you were kissing someone too!
