RIP George

The "kissing sailor" George Mendonsa has passed away at the lived-life-fully age of 95.

The photo is iconic, and it was only years after that George was firmly identified as the exuberant sailor who took elebration into his own hands ... literally.

Thank you, George, for your service during WWII, and for embracing hope and freedom with a smile and a kiss. You will be remembered. You will be missed. You were the Greatest Generation and the world is less than for your passing.

I love that photo!
He and Greta stayed in touch throughout the years and even recreated the kiss at one time.
