Photo from this date in 2014
With the USS Midway as a backdrop, the Sailor Kissing Statue reminds all who see it of the joy of hearing WWII had ended. The statue is a take on Alfred Eisenstaedt's photograph which was published in Life Magazine shortly after it was taken on August 14, 1945.

I always thought the picture was of a sailor kissing his nurse girl friend. However, neither Petty Officer First Class George Mendonsa, nor dental assistant Greta Zimmer knew each other before the famous kiss. To read more about the story behind the kiss, visit the U.S. Naval Institute Website www.usni.org/magazines/naval-history-magazine/2012/july/story-behind-famous-kiss

A view of Granite Mountain from Williamson Valley. Topping off at 7,628 feet, Granite Mountain covers approximately 12 square miles. Originally known as Mount Gurly honoring the first governor of the Arizona Territory. Gurley, a congressman from Ohio, was appointed by President Lincoln to be governor but died before taking office. The southwest face has a sheer granite cliff 500 feet high providing excellent rock climbing opportunities.

Granite Mountain is at the northern end of the Sierra Prietas and borders Williamson Valley on the east, the Santa Maria Mountains on the northwest and Skull Valley on the west.
