life: Nothing says romance quite like this image by LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt. Pictured: On August 14, 1945 — VJ Day — a jubilant sailor plants a kiss on a nurse in Times Square to celebrate the Allies’ long- awaited World War II victory over Japan. Originally published (not as a cover shot, as most people assume today, but as just one in a series of “VJ Day victory celebration” images featured in the middle of the magazine) in the August 27, 1945, issue of LIFE. (see more photos here) Happy Valentines Day from your friends at LIFE.
