Times Square does an interesting event called the Kiss-In. This event occurs once every 5 years, marking the anniversary of the famous victory kiss on August 14, 2945 between a U.S. sailor & nurse.
Hundreds of people fill up Times Square to honor the US Armed Forces. The Kiss-In is not only a cute, fun idea, but it also symbolizes love, peace and hope.
I think it's the SMALL things that make a big difference. It's great when people come together to support a cause, and it is definitely a spectacular sight to see!

Too bad the next Kiss-In event isn't until August 14, 2015! We have to wait another 2 years for this fun cause. I would also love to see this event for myself! The Kiss-In is so romantic and seems like a lot of fun. 
That victory kiss was totally unsolicited, by the way. The nurse never found out who the sailor was, but she has said he was going through Times Square kissing every female he could latch himself onto.
ReplyDelete... so not quite as romantic as the picture might make it seem.
Haha good point. I did know the nurse didn't know the sailor, but I never knew that he went around kissing a bunch of girls! Funny how something so iconic is not always what it may seem. Also, I understand that the nurse in the picture recently passed away.
