Standing proudly along the San Diego waterfront, the 'Unconditional Surrender' sculpture captures a moment of joy and relief at the end of World War II. This towering statue, depicting a sailor kissing a nurse, is based on the iconic photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt taken in Times Square on V-J Day. The sculpture brings history to life, offering a vivid reminder of the euphoria that swept the nation when the war came to an end.
