Fox News
Two GOP lawmakers slammed the VA "bureaucrat" responsible for a since-rescinded memo that directed the removal of the iconic V-J Day Times Square kiss photo from VA centers.
In the memo, Nelson called for the historic photo of a Navy sailor kissing a woman in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945 to be removed from all VA medical buildings because it doesn’t foster a "more trauma-informed environment that promotes psychological safety." Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"This action is promoted by the recognition that the photograph, which depicts a non-consensual act, is inconsistent with the VA's no-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment and assault, as outlined in VA Handbook," the memo states.
