PODCAST: Will Sarasota, Florida’s Cancel Culture Get rid of the landmark WWII statue Unconditional Surrender?

The landmark and iconic statue Unconditional Surrender has been on the City of Sarasota’s Bay front for over 10 years. It has become a symbol of the City’s history in WWII. Unconditional Surrender was purchased by WWII Navy Veteran Jack Curran. His wish was to have it remain on the Sarasota Bay front forever.

This statue has major support from veterans and veterans organizations in the Florida counties of Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte. It represents one of America’s greatest achievements, Victory in Japan Day (VJ-Day) and the end of World War II.

The sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square deserves its place on the bay front. It is a real moment in history that we must never, ever forget.

The love of our country, the symbol of American military might in the form of the sailor and the dedication of the nurse who cared for our wounded veterans then, and to today with the current pandemic, are unforgettable to America’s Greatest Generation and all generations that have followed. Without the bravery of our WWII veterans, and those men and women who serve today, we would not be what we are today – The Greatest Nation on the earth, bar none!

Unconditional Surrender has become a favorite tourist attraction, a place where people gather to rally for one cause or another and most importantly a part of the culture of the City of Sarasota, FL. But will those who are a part of the cancel culture want to take it away? That is an answer for the City Commissioners to address in September.
