Writing a letter to a veteran
Hello, dear Veteran!
I address to you on behalf of that generation, for the bright future of which you so selflessly fought. We bow to you!
The Second World War divided the worldview of many millions of people into two parts: life before and after the war. The Great Patriotic War took hundreds of thousands of souls to oblivion, broke many human destinies and left a deep imprint on the hearts of those who happened to live in this terrible time and participate in a bloody insanity of a world scale.

And for every day we have lived, for every dawn we meet, we should thank the young and beautiful girls and guys who had to change their shorts and sarafans to a military uniform, braids and curvy hair – for a short haircut, weekdays and weekends – for hard work, and their home – on the dugout or trench. Your burnt youth can not be returned, and God forbid us and our children not to experience such a test in life.
