Ken M Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) I spend a bit of time in Russia now and then. I was lucky enough to be over there during the May 9 celebration last summer. As you are all aware, the Russians still take this very seriously. The veterans turned out en-masse.I came upon these four men headed for the grand-stand where they would soon be viewing the parade. Each one is a WW2 veteran and proudly wears his assortment of regalia. After I took the picture, the one on the left said to me "Now go back to America and tell them that we are still alive"So that's what I am doing.Ken Edited September 18, 2007 by Ken M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken M Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 This fellow appeared to be the proudest of them all. Judging by the spring in his step, it was hard to believe that he is 85 years-old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
