Nurse in famous Times Square war photo reunites with the U.S. Navy
By Richard Pyle, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - A 90-year-old who says she's the woman being kissed by a sailor in Times Square in one of the Second World War's most famous photographs reunited in town with the Navy on Sunday.

It happened days before she is to serve as grand marshal of the city's Veterans Day parade.

Edith Shain of Los Angeles, donning a white nurse's uniform like the one she wore back in 1945, went to see the musical revival of "South Pacific" and posed for pictures.

She was hoisted off her feet on stage by five of the actors in their Navy whites.Story continued....

"Couple"? So the story goes, is that the Sailor in the picture was actually kissing every woman he came across that day, the particular nurse from the picture, slapped him afterwards.

yeah, but I seem to recall the two mentioned in the article appeared to actually be them.

and they weren't exactly a couple.

how the devil does an article like that not include the photo?
