9 May
May 9 is Victory day in Russia. It is the main holiday here for you can’t find
a family in Russia whose relatives didn’t suffer from that awful war. Every
passing year there are fewer veterans alive here but the memory of those
tragic years and those who gave up their lives defending the motherland is kept in
families.
There are Memorial Days in Greece, the Netherlands and Poland too. It’s very
important to remember the lessons of history to prevent the new generation from
any war actions.
Life is the greatest value we must take care of.
