 In this photograph released by the United States Navy, a sailor and nurse embrace in New York's Times Square in a file photo from Aug. 14, 1945. A statue by Seward Johnson commorating the event was released Thursday, Aug. 11, 2005, in New York's Time Square.  The 60th anniversary of the event is Sunday, Aug. 14, 2005.
