Сегодня такой особенный день... Каждый год я удивляюсь,...

Today is such a special day ... Every year I am surprised when on May 9 all the contact is filled with pictures, congratulations, everyone sends each other free ribbons as a gift ... And how many people really put something into it ??? How many people realize what it is and how it is ??? Probably, this day was a holiday then - May 9, 1945 ... And now ... Now it is not a holiday ... This is a day of remembrance, a day of sorrow ... How many veterans, veterans, blockade soldiers are left alive ??? And it’s so sad that my generation may still have caught their grandmothers and grandfathers alive, who could tell about it firsthand. And I will never forget how when I was little and asked my grandmother about how it was and what happened - she told, but tears glistened in her eyes. And we will never understand this. Never feel it all God grant that this never happens again, but how to be able to preserve memory and pride in what they did then ??? How to carry it further, if even my generation celebrates this day with beer in hand and St. George's ribbon instead of laces ??? And for those who are younger and generally all this is not interesting ... For them the Great Patriotic War is a set of levels in computer games. For many of them, these people are just old people ... With a clear conscience, they throw cigarette butts and garbage on the sidewalks, who have seen so much pain ... And after a while there will be no one left from those who once gave us a chance to live. ..It is difficult for me to imagine the emotions and feelings of my grandmother, who went to the anniversary of her school a couple of years ago and ... found herself alone ... Just because no one was left alive ... After all, when the war began she was 18 ... And how does it feel to look around and understand that everyone else is gone ... And I hope that all these posts on social networks, all these pictures and the like are just an opportunity to remind and an attempt to arouse interest in these events among new generations in modern ways ... After all, even books are no longer fashionable to read now ... And it's a pity that we basically remember about veterans only on this day ... And it's even more offensive that our government and the state are only capable of postcards for people who don't seem to need anything, but who deserve so much th ... Eternal memory of these events ... Eternal memory and respect for people who gave us life ...
