HOUSTON - Glenn McDuffie has claimed for years
that he was the sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square
in Life magazine’s iconic photograph of the day
World War II ended.

If anyone just looked hard enough, he said,
they would see that it was him in the shot.

Houston Police Department forensic artist Lois Gibson
took up the challenge. And after what she called a
detailed investigation, Gibson said she has concluded
that McDuffie, 80, is the man in Alfred Eisenstaedt’s
Aug. 14, 1945, image.
