SARASOTA, Fla. -- A statue depicting the famous kissing photo taken in Times Square at the end of World War II, was vandalized in Florida.
Sarasota police say they were tipped off just before 1 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19 and when they arrived on scene they found the phrase "#MeToo" spray painted in red on the nurse's leg.
The famous moment between a sailor and nurse happening in 1945 after Japan surrendered -- ending the war.
