R.I.P. . George Mendonsa

95 years old.

Who?

Spoiler
From the source
[quote]PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The ecstatic sailor shown kissing a woman in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II died Sunday. George Mendonsa was 95.

Mendonsa fell and had a seizure at the assisted living facility in Middletown, Rhode Island, where he lived with his wife of 70 years, his daughter, Sharon Molleur, told The Providence Journal.

Mendonsa was shown kissing Greta Zimmer Friedman, a dental assistant in a nurse's uniform, on Aug. 14, 1945. Known as V-J Day, it was the day Japan surrendered to the United States. People spilled into the New York City streets to celebrate the news.[/quote]

Ironic that the same MSM that still refers to the photo as "iconic" with the man's passing would absolutely excoriate the guy for such a move today.

RIP, sailor!

Really classy way to inject politics into a non-political RIP thread.

I don't view the #MeToo movement as political. It was intended as a comment on how times have changed for the better.

Police don't have a suspect. They should question this guy.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Stop it. Stop fucking it.
