I saw this article online at the weekend. It's about the 26ft statue that's been put up in Times Square to commemorate 65 years since the end of WW2, its based on the famous photograph taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a couple kissing in that location as they celebrated the end of the war. I love it. I think its a great way of reminding us to remember the war, and has been done really nicely. I love how contemporary it looks, yet the clothing of the subjects is so obviously 40's. It also means people will remember in a positive light the end of the war, yet reminds us gently how much so many people went through.
