Statue Based On Iconic Picture \u201cThe Kiss\u201d On Display At College Of The Ozarks Beginning September 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

The life-size statue, based on the iconic picture of the legendary photo of a sailor kissing a New York nurse in Times Square following the announcement that WWII had ended, will make its way to College of the Ozarks September 3 for display. The Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks will showcase the statue, called \u201cThe Kiss,\u201d in its lobby for a limited time.<\/p>\n

The public is welcome to visit the statue Monday-Saturday 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. free of charge and may also visit the \u201cLest We Forget\u201d exhibit, featuring WWII artifacts and memorabilia and photographs chronicling College of the Ozarks students accompanying WWII veterans to European and Pacific battle sites, in its gallery during the same hours at no cost. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kiss\u201d statue is a project of \u201cKeep the Spirit of \u201945 Alive,\u201d a non-profit organization that seeks to preserve the legacy of men and women of The Greatest Generation and help inspire a renewal of national unity in America. <\/p>\n

As part of its five-fold mission, College of the Ozarks has the patriotic goal of encouraging in students an understanding of American heritage, civic responsibilities, love of country and willingness to defend it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
