The name may not be familiar, but you probably have seen him before.

quote:
George A. Mendonsa, who claimed to be the sailor kissing the nurse in the iconic photo taken in Times Square at the end of World War II, and whose claim was verified by recent technology, died early Sunday, two days short of his 96th birthday.

Mendonsa's daughter, Sharon Molleur of Portsmouth, said he and her mother, who had been married more than 70 years, lived in an assisted living facility in Middletown. Molleur said she got a call at 1:30 a.m. Sunday saying that he had fallen and, moments later, had a seizure and died.
