I love this photo, it is one of my favorites. These two were strangers, too. That is so neat!

What an awesome moment - I wish I was that nurse!

It's so romantic. We all want to be swept off our feet like this!

I love this. Very romantic.

One PIcture Capturing One Moment Preserved Forever

This is a wonderful picture! I just love it!

That is my dream to be kissed by a sailor or a fireman WOOOOOOh!!!!

To be able to capture the romanticism, the joy...what a powerfully enchanting moment. We have this to hold on to for all the rest of time...so many women dream of being swept off their feet like this picture seemingly depicts, but I have always tried to see things from the sailor's perspective...to be back on home soil, to feel safe, to have survived!!!

for the history!!!

What a wonderful moment in history, V-J day. But were nurse's skirts that short back then?

It's a moment in history and in time. It was 1945 and there was just so much jubilation at that time. The end of the war and yes skirts were that short, just below the knee. My mother had dresses that she saved that were just that length.

I absolutely love this photograph. Being a Sailor's (submariner) wife, I know the hardships and loneliness of being without the one you love. In a previous comment it is said that the Sailor was identified, how neat is that! I wonder if the two still keep in touch?

This photo captures an absolutely beautiful moment in history!

THis picture gave me chills. It is very passionate.

this is a classic, I'll never forget the first time I saw and read about this nurse and sailor. WOW!

Ahh ....to be in love. Great picture! Timeless.

Love this pic! Absolutely romantic <3

This picture captures so much feeling. The only way to describe the range of emotion stirring inside when your sailor returns from a deployment is through action. I believe this picture does depicts both the feeling and actions from an extended stay away from a lover.

I love to see this photo!

that is fantastic- i love the black and white and the old skool uniforms.

this is a beautiful poster

This is one of my favorite photos. I wish I could go back in time and able to physically witness this kiss. I see the happiness of everyone on the old videos, and it makes me proud to be an American.

I love this picture....it reminds me of my husband and I.....

This picture is just amazingly romantic!

I feel like I was around during the WWII days...I love the dresses, hair, men wearing suits and hats, getting 'dressed up' to go out, the war, it all just somehow 'fits' me if that makes any sense. I have adored this picture since I saw it, and to this day I love it more every time I see it!! :-)

This reminds me of some of my two oldest friends, both who served in the USNavy during WWII and who have passed away in the last two years within three days of each other from alzheimer's. They shared many wonderful stories and helped me understand what it was like to be young back in the day.

I have this poster up on my wall, and while my husband was in Iraq (at the time we were just dating), when i wondered if we would ever get the chance to be more than just bf/gf, it gave me hope that maybe he would come home and we would get to have a moment like that...

Saw this on all posters.com. Impressive black and white photo. The sailor returns home to greet his love.

this is my favorite pictures of this era

I just love this photo!

its a classic

I love nursing memorabilia. This is a great picture. I love the black and white effect, nursing uniform but wish she had a cap. I sure miss the nursing cap although I still wear whites.

This is one of my favorites. I sure would to have this poster. I woner what happened to her cap. It must have fallen off when he grabbed her.

This is outstanding. My Mom was an Army nurse, I wounder how many times she lost her cap!!!
I have a wall with many nursing photos, would love to have this one.

This picture is a classic!!All i can say is .......LOVE IT!!!

THE MOMENT! SO HAPPY TO BE HOME!

love this photo and the story behind it is great too

What great history

I love this poster!!

"Classic poster." It tells it all, that words can't even say.One look say how much he will miss her. Oh the love.

I love this picture! I took a picture of the statue of this picture that is in Sarasota, FL. I dream that one day that will be me.

i love this! its so sweet

i wish to be on her shoes =)

Have this photo, love it! Reminds me of me and my husband (a Navy retiree).

Such a classic!

Captures such a beautiful moment...evokes so much feeling!

Romantic. Classical and inspiring.

OMG I would love to have this picture in my office framed... my fiance would love it too....

I have seen this picture everywhere....card, cover pages, calender, bags, etc.
Never knew she was Nurse.... :-)

A NURSE ALWAYS GETS HER MAN!

I love this pic. I can't describe it any better.

i had seen this on t.v., and the actual nurse was describing that day when she was kissed by a sailor, it was undescribable

Nice photo,I always wondered if they new each other!

I love this photo- how romantic. I collect black and whiotes and i think I'll have to add this to my collection

Very cute!

This poster says it all. It makes the things that we FIGHT for and SACRIFICE our lives for seem to make it all well worth it in the end. If its coming home to your husband at night and his kiss makes everything feel right, or the smile on a child's tearful face can bring you all the joy in the world, or just the simplicity of a stranger's gesture with the look of complete appreciation in his eyes when he says "Thank you. I thank God for people just like you." I know that all the battles in life are worth every minute, even if the battle isn't mine.
