Boy it’s been a while! After not being able to post for quite some time due to someone hacking and deleting my Facebook account, we are back! Thankfully/hopefully I am the only victim.
Now back to the photos!
This is the famous Embracing Peace (Unconditional Surrender) statue, also widely known simply as the "Kissing Statue". Standing at an impressive 25 feet tall, it sits in Tuna Harbor Park, right next to the historic USS Midway Museum. Created by artist J. Seward Johnson, the statue is a tribute to a legendary 1945 photograph taken in New York’s Times Square on V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day), marking the end of World War II.
