Unconditional Surrender

The story of Carl “Moose” Muscarello, the sailor who instigated the kiss seen around the world, as captured in a Life Magazine photo taken after victory in Japan was declared (V-J Day), August 15, 1945. The statue on Sarasota Bay that commemorates the moment on Times Square has been called both an abomination as well as a glorious tribute to the “Greatest Generation.” Whether or not Moose is the actual sailor, or the statue is or isn't art is only part of the story. The real story is what the man and the statue represent.
