TacHel Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 THE WINDSOR STAR May 13, 2013 - 12:21 PM EDT On behalf of our Veterans and their families, our community is warmly thanked for their kind generosity by attending the V-E Day Veterans Tribute presented by the Russian Community Centre of Windsor and Essex County in partnership with HMCS Hunter and the Essex and Kent Scottish at the Tilston Armoury on May 9, 2013. Thirty-four WW II Veterans (representing all theatres of conflict and all branches of Canadian and Russian Forces) were honoured by the Russian Federation in recognition of their distinguished service to their countries. The Windsor Star, CBC, AM800 CKLW, CTV and Blackburn Radio contributed to the success of the V-E Day Veterans Tribute and for this, we are indeed grateful. Media partnerships such as these continue to deliver the message so that society will never forget all who filled the ranks (and all who continue to do so) to safeguard their countries. In remembering our Veterans for their contributions and achievements, for their service, duty, valour and sacrifice, not what conflict took away but what it has given Canada, we recognize the tradition of freedom and those liberties our Veterans fought to preserve. This family-centred program opened another chapter in our Canadian military history to honour all who served and returned home, to remember all who served and fell and rest eternally.

Paul R Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 That is beyond cool. I love seeing World War II veterans still being recognized. Also, it is the Soviet version of the award in the modern booklet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'l be honest with you, from what I've seen in the past few years, the modern version looks exactly like the Soviet one except the award number is inscribed at a different location on the reverse.
