Sarasota, FL. 05/12/2023 Unconditional Surrender Statue. The “Unconditional Surrender” statue is based on an iconic photograph by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt. In its Sarasota location, an excerpt from the Unconditional Surrender plaque reads “ The profound joy portrayed in this sculpture was prompted by the spontaneous surrender of the Japanese, thus ending World War II on Aug. 14, 1945. Among the celebrants in Times Square, in New York City, were a U.S. sailer and a nurse embracing amidst the multitude of joy makers.” © Peter Monsees. 406ND850
