V-J Day Kiss

This photo was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt on August 15, 1945 moments after America was notified of Japan's surrender in WWII. The photo features two strangers, a sailor, who spontaneously kissed a nurse out of pure excitement. Since being taken, the photo has become extremely well known and some people have even tried to recreate it.
