Kiss - In Times Square


This 26-foot Statue was in Times Square. It is funny because we were coming across the GW Bridge a couple days before and the police had all the traffic stopped. We couldn't figure out what was going on - then they had about 5 semi-trucks come through with parts of this statue on them. Then we came to Times Square and there it was. After they had passed we started accross the bridge right behind the police cars - first time we crossed the Bridge with a police escort! :) Anyway, then Tiffanni was asking Ralph and he explained to us that it was in celebration of the end of World War II. A Sailor and a nurse passing each other at times square 65 years ago at the end of WWII embrassed and kissed and the photo was captured in Life Magazine. We missed it - but I guess many couples dressed as the statue on August 14th and smooched in Times Square to celebrate the anniversay of the end of World War II.
