If there's a topic about this already, please close this one.
The original VJ day was August 14, 1945, when a soldier and a nurse shared a passionate kiss in Times Square to celebrate the end of WWII. You've seen the picture, right?  Yesterday it was celebrated in New York, New York--the only remaining state where this day is remembered. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's sweet. You can watch a video about it on yahoo.com. Just type in the website and click "watch video." It's in the "featured" section. |

This is my first time hearing about this and I'm from NY.
 I went to Times Square on the wrong day. I went today instead of yesterday.

The picture is really cute. No wonder 1946 is the year of baby boomers.
