Glen McDuffie.

Glenn McDuffie was a gunner in the United States Navy and had just started his leave on August 14th. “I was at the top of the stairs by the subway when the lady said, ‘Sailor, I’m so happy for you.’  I asked her ‘Why?’ and she said ‘Because the War is over.’ I ran out into the street, jumpin’ and hollerin’ thinking that my brother, who was on the Rattan Death March, might come home.”

That’s when he saw the nurse with her arms out and kissed her. “I heard these footsteps running up and I didn’t know if it was a jealous husband or boyfriend. I saw it was a man taking our picture so I kissed her for awhile. I moved my hand back so he could see her face. It was a good kiss. It was a wet kiss.”

McDuffie said he wasn’t much of a drinker and it wasn’t the booze that

caused him to kiss. “I was on my way to visit a girl in Brooklyn. I didn’t drinkbecause I was going to see her.”

“I passed ten lie detector tests and I’ll pass ten more!” McDuffie said when asked why he was sure he was the sailor in the photograph.
