As you may know todat Russia celebrated the end of WW2. Every year there is a large parade, and a lot of attention is given to what happened then, and how hard the victory was for those who fought.

It is also a time to stand still at the hardship the generations of those times endured to fight war and then to build their lives back from nothing.

When they started there were not many TV's, not even everyone had a radio. If you wanted to communicate with someone in another country you sent a letter and hoped answer would come within a month.

The jobs they did were not just 8 hours with a lot of breaks, no most worked at least for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. And without safety regulations, numerous breaks or modern tools. Even those in offices would not have a computer doing their job, typed letters were typed by hand and calculations made by hand as well.

They worked hard and long dreaming of a better life for their children and grandchildren. And today most can not even imagine how the work that happened then was done. They reach their goal of giving you an easy life with everything you need. Even at the worst of times today you have more than most people had during and right after the war.

On the 9th of May there is a custom that children are giving flowers to old people as a gesture of thanks of their hard work and effort to keep freedom.
Perhaps this custom should be spread around the world.

If today or tomoroow you see an old person sitting alone somehwere, or meet your grandparents walk up to them and thank them for building the country and the easy life you have. Some will cry. Some will tell you it is not needed. But inside all will glow with pride that their hard work paid off.

We have to respect the past generations, it's our duties. My Grandfather died by cancer when he had worked in a dirty industry for all his life. He just became 50 years old. The salary was less then a crown, which is 0,153872 US dollar today. All to make a living and make their family happy!

All honor to them!

Remember it is not just about your own grandparents. Anyone who is over 70 has been born in the war and lived through hard times.

It's sad that in just years from now, we will not have these people anymore who have lived during the war.

It's not necessarily sad, there is no need for war, it causes unnecessary expenses for countries, tears families apart and so on.

It is sad. Everyone who fought in the war has had his own experience and it is always interesting to hear one's story, whether it is your family or not.

Of course hearing about war stories is always good for progression in the future, but you can't say there weren't bad outcomes from the war either.
Families torn apart, innocent civilians murdered because someone was ordered to attack them or bomb them.

But after all, there should be the utmost respect shown for those that were in the war, and those who simply survived the war alike.
Tough times that they have managed to work through to make the most of the rest of their lives and to pass their stories on to future generations.

Respect to the grannies, they are just like speed bumps in the traffic. They drive so slow in traffic and make the people behind the car slows down.

There once was a nice commercial on TV
COSMOTE - Spot "Veteranul"

The old man is a war veteran

I always tried to respect old people even if I don't know them
