World War II Scrapbook: The War is Over!

A kiss made her famous. Edith Shain worked
as a nurse in New York City, and became a
American icon, on August 14, 1945.
On that day, Life magazine photographed her
being kissed by a sailor in Times Square
during celebrations of news, of the Japanese
surrender.
Today at 91, Shain is one of the national
spokespersons for:
"Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive" Over the years
many men have come forward as the sailor.
If anyone has more information pass it on to
the ww2db.
