Great photo of the serviceman hugging an English woman at war's end -- but for the record, the serviceman is an Airman, not a soldier. Easily seen by the USAAF insignia on his lapel and the Eighth Air Force patch on his shoulder. In honor of the thousands of Airmen who died fighting the war, please correct your caption!
