Famous Sailor is a “MacDuffee”

Ok, so I’m sure this picture looks familiar to ALOT of people.    I have always been OBSESSED with this picture.   I just LOVE it.   This sailor just grabbed a nurse, a woman he did not know, and kissed her when celebrating the end of  WWII.   Well when Paul I started dating I always told him we needed to re-enact this picture because he was in the navy and still has his uniform.  I even suggested it as a couples Halloween costume one year.   I’m not a nurse obviously, but again I’m obsessed with this picture.  Anyhow, we went to the highland games  this year and look what we saw in the tent:

There it was hanging.  After saying how much I just love that photo, someone explained to Paul and I that the sailor in the picture was a MacDuffee.  WHAT?!   So I come home to look it up, just to make sure before I really allow myself to get too excited.  It’s true.. see, his name was Glenn McDuffie.   His naval base was in Kannapolis, NC.   I’m probably way over excited about this…but I think it’s totally cool.  Now even more reason to re-enact right?!  One Day!
