Favorite Moment in History

This topic is sooooo hard because there are so many great moments in history and I am a huge history buff (it is my double major). I know that my past history professors would kill me for saying what I'm going to say because it is so girly and steriotypical to say. My media studies professors would also be on my case as well. My favorite moment in history is the picture of the sailor kissing a girl on VJ day in times square. I have a poster of it in my room and my sister does as well. I don't like it for it's content but rather what it represents. A man who has been fighting a war for who knows how long is finally back from overseas. He is in one of the most famous cities in the world and he is finally home. A girl who has been waiting for her boyfriend and has been working as "Rosie the Riviter" for the duration of his deployment in Europe. They see each other and in that one moment they see each other and he does the one thing he has been thinking about while battle war and kisses her. The kiss is a symbol. It is saying "We won! We kicked ass! We are American!" It was the end of a war and was topped of with a kiss.
