There are no words to describe the disappointment that goes with this announcement.

Surely you've seen the famous black and white photo of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square. Known as "The Kiss," it sums up the jubilation and relief at the end of World War II.

Nearly two-thirds of the people who responded to Air Force Times informal poll indicated they prefer the current uniform to the new heritage-inspired design.
