Happy Memorial Day weekend!  A royally worthy celebration.  This video warms my heart.  Remembering the sacrifice of others, serves to enrich the human soul and the human behavior.

THE KISS HEARD AROUND THE WORLD




photo by David


You know the kiss.  It was the day the U.S declared victory over Japan, and a sailor in New York City exuberantly laid one on the closest nurse.  What a glimpse of excitement, joy, surrender, and romance it was captured by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.  Check out the link if you need a refresher.  (story link)     Edith Shain, said nurse, passed away a few years ago, but her moment lives on.  She admitted once, that maybe she should have gotten the unknown fella's name and number!
