World War II 'Kissing Sailor' dies aged 86 - nearly seven decades after he was snapped in iconic Times Square VJ Day picture:
Glenn McDuffie died on March 9 in a Dallas nursing home
Photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captured the spontaneous moment he kissed a nurse in Times Square on August 14, 1945
Several men claimed they were the famous 'Kissing Sailor' as Eisenstaedt hadn't captioned his photo
Six years ago, Houston Police Department forensic artist Lois Gibson confirmed it was McDuffie
