On Sunday, August 12, Atria Senior Living communities nationwide observed Spirit of '45 day, a congressionally-recognized national day of remembrance held annually on the second Sunday in August.

As part of the partnership with the Spirit of '45 organization, Atria residents and staff will also attend the official Spirit of '45 event in New York on Tuesday, August 14 at 12 pm EDT, 67 years after President Truman announced the end of World War II.

Notable members of Congress, The New York Historical Society, Tuskegee Airmen, Girl Scouts of America and Atria residents will be among those in Times Square to participate in the event. A mural depicting the "Times Square Kiss," the iconic photograph of a nurse and a sailor celebrating the end of World War II with a passionate embrace, will be displayed in Times Square.

An animation of the mosaic image will be displayed on Walgreens' jumbo screens intermittently between 10 am and 2 pm.

The mosaic is comprised of photos of real WWII-era couples collected from Americans across the nation over the past six months.
