To have forever marked in bronze on Times Square the footsteps of the Sailor and Nurse photographed in "the Kiss". We ask the City of New York to dedicate funds to memorialize the spot on which "the kiss" took place. On August 14, 1945, the news of Japan’s surrender was announced in the United States, signaling the end of World War II. Riotous celebrations erupted in the streets, but perhaps none were more relieved than those in uniform. Although many of them had recently returned from victory in Europe, they faced the prospect of having to ship out yet again, this time to the bloody Pacific. Among the overjoyed masses gathered in Times Square that day was one of the most talented photojournalists of the 20th century, a German immigrant named Alfred Eisenstaedt. While snapping pictures of the celebration, he spotted a sailor "running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight." He later explained that, "whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn’t make any difference." Of course, a photo of the sailor planting a wet one on a senior citizen wouldn’t have made the cover of Life, but when he locked lips with an attractive nurse, the image was circulated in newspapers across the country. Needless to say, "V-J Day" didn’t capture a highly anticipated embrace by long-lost lovers, but it also wasn’t staged, as many critics have claimed. In any case, the image remains an enduring symbol of America’s exuberance at the end of a long struggle. We ask that a surveyor identify not only the exact placement of the footprints of the sailor and nurse, but alos the location of the camera that took the Pulitzer Prize winning photo. Each of the signers hereby states their intention to visit this spot, stand on the bronze footprints, and if the spirit moves, kiss!
