This is the original Times Square Kiss photo, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt, portraying an American sailor kissing a woman in a white dress on Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) in Times Square in New York City, on August 14, 1945.
Now see a re-enactment:

A statue reenacting the famous photo was also unveiled at the event. Andrew Burton/Getty Images (A)
