The photo on this ornament was taken in Times Square, New York by U.S. Navy photo journalist Lt. Victor Jorgensen on August 14, 1945, the day World War II ended.
This date has come to be known as Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day, also known as Victory in the Pacific or V-P Day). The photograph portrays an American sailor kissing a nurse during the celebration that followed President Truman's announcement of Japan's surrender. Jorgensen titled his photograph Kissing the War Goodbye. (George Mendonsa and Greta Zimmer Friedman)
I forgot to buy a lighter for my brother-in-law when visiting Pearl Harbor. I preferred one online and it was at my front door in Wisconsin 3 days later. Great product and very quick shipping!
I am really pleased with my flag in honor of my brother. The only thing was that they didn’t put he was in the U.S.M.C. Other than that I greatly appreciate what they do. Been neat to have a pic of it.
Mi hermana me regaló una cruz (de Hawaii) que tenía un significado emocional. Fue robado. Esta cruz es muy preciosa y muy bonita. Superó mis expectativas. Llegó a mi estado, Nuevo Mexico, a tiempo. Muchas gracias!
The shirt is great. My only complaint is it doesn't come in another color. I'm not a big fan of dark blue. It is a great way to honor our country and not forget the past.
got this Medallion in a set of items including the Diamond Head Certificate, Diamond Head Medallion and the Diamond Head Bench Marking pin. We did both during our last visit and loved the experience.
I’m playing catch up with just now getting the walking stick medallions of the places I’ve been in the last 3 years. I purchased this set with the Arizona and Diamond Head medallion along with the Diamond Head Cert and the Bench Mark pin for a good price and I’m really happy with all items.
