Beautiful and sad. (you may want to get the tissues if you're anything like me). A series of photographs by Alfred Eisenstaedt (see Kissing the War Away) portraying the kisses and tears of a goodbye between soldiers and their sweethearts after a brief leave in 1944, at Penn Station, New York City.
From the LIFE archives.

Very touching and emotional photos. The heartbreak of leaving for war. It never gets easier.
Beautiful.
I adore Alfred Eisenstaedt. Wonderful photographs!
Alfred as an amazing photographer I feel for all the people the soldiers and the Sweethearts because it's hard on both of them one staying behind and one going off to war not knowing the war ended April 1945 I don't know what month they were in in 1944 but there wasn't a lot of time left to the War sometime I sometimes wonder what it felt like
