Yes indeed, it was this day. I remember commemorating the 50th anniversary. Hard for me to believe that one was twenty years ago.

Yes, unlike those few who are left that gave service in WWI, there are still many living who served in WWII.

Terrible time for all involved, and lessons learned will be remembered for a long time to come I hope.

I sure hope history is the greatest teacher for all humankind. Unfortunetlly untill we have two versions of history existing there is no guarantees about that. First version is the one that knows everybody, and the second which is tweaked by Kremlin a bit.. to make it a bit more "comfortable" to see for themseves this way denying or not accepting certain facts.. |
