David Upton, right, gives Sarianna Blansett, a kiss in Times Square, New York, Saturday, Aug. 14, 2004, to reenact the historic smooch between a sailor and a nurse, sculpture at left, who were rejoicing over the end of World War II, on the very date the famous kiss had occurred. The crowd of kissing couples all received a sailor cap and a rose to participate in the 'Pucker Up for Peace' event. Upton and Blansett are both visiting from Portland, Ore. (AP Photo/Ed Bailey)
