Today is May 9! Victory Day!
This is one of those holidays, the history of which does not need to be told, because everyone knows and remembers the feat of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who stood to the end and defeated the Nazis in order to give us a peaceful sky over our heads. Let's say to them a big human THANKS!
Every year the country and many other countries celebrate this great day - Victory Day! We congratulate the veterans who are still alive, remember those who left us, as well as those who died during the Great Patriotic War and did not return from the front.
How many tears and blood were shed, how many friends were lost, how many wives did not wait for their husbands, children of fathers, mothers of sons …
This Victory Day smelled of gunpowder,
This is a holiday with gray hair on the temples,
It is joy with tears in my eyes.
Victory Day!
Victory Day!
