70 years ago today

Life magazine published one of the most widely recognized photos of all time. It was published on page 27.  Here it is:

Sailor in Times Square on VJ day (August 14, 1945) kissing a dental hygienist who happened to be on a break

On August 27, a sweet little girl was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota named Betty Jean Swanson. Her proud parents Clarence and Grace and big brother Rodger welcomed her to their family.

Happy birthday Betty, this photo is not the only iconic event that occurred 70 years ago today.
