— and the aftermath |

At 7:56 A.M. the USS Arizona was rocked by two explosions. "The bridge shielded us from the flames," Pfc. James Cory said. "I think that at this moment I wanted to flee, but this was impossible. You're on station, you're in combat." |

| 1945: Alfred
Eisenstaedt |
|
| Photographers across
America captured victory kisses on August 14, 1945, the day World War II came
to an end. So why did one embrace become a universal symbol of jubilation -
and perhaps the most reprinted image in LIFE's history? Having spied a sailor
smooching his way through Times Square, Alfred Eisenstaedt followed until he
found the perfect composition - a confluence of lines and curves that draws
the eye into a vortex of pure joy. |

| No single image has
yet emerged as the canonical one. In this case: |
|
| --many more images,
both amateur and professional |
|
| --lots of video too |
|
| --people saw in real
time—at events and on TV (and then replays) different from a “report from
abroad.” Most of us were not in vietnmam, etc. |
