Today the United States of America observes it's own version of Victory Day, called Memorial Day.
Here at Russia Blog, we pause to remember the sacrifices of America's Greatest Generation, which fought alongside the Russian people to end Nazism. We wish all American veterans and their families a wonderful holiday!

Now this is precisely the type of thing that we need a lot more of. How about a project that actively links up veterans and chronicles their living memories, while still possible? Who will fund it?

I have a copy of this photo given to me by a Russian Lt. Colonel during the 1995 Peacekeeper events in Kansas.
