Authorities in Sarasota, Florida, said their statue "Unconditional Surrender" – based on the iconic photo of the Times Square kiss – was vandalized early Tuesday morning. The photos of the statue show that the nurse's leg is now covered with red spray paint marked #MeToo. There are currently no suspects. The vandalism comes just two days after the death of the veteran in the photo, George Mendonsa, who died at the age of 95. Nurse, dental assistant Greta Zimmer Friedman, died in 2016. The couple had never met before kissing, and Friedman had already described it. it is not romantic.
