Today, we honor WWII Navy Veteran Carl Muscarello. As photographs go, it is one of the more iconic images from American history. Carl Muscarello gained national celebrity as the “kissing sailor” whose photo appeared on the cover of Life magazine planting a smooch on a nurse in New York’s Times Square as World War II ended in 1945. Through much of his life, the U.S. Navy veteran, retired New York police detective, corporate fraud detective and former Plantation resident, leveraged that fame into good works, raising money and supporting charities including “Honor Flights” for veterans who visit war memorials in Washington, D.C. Last week, at the age of 97, Carl Muscarello died. Thank you for being a helper Carl and THANK YOU for your service.
