HAMILTON (2020) dir. Thomas Kail

Are you a noodles or rice person, perfume or body mist, dried roses or fresh tulips, lipstick or lip tint

On May 9 Russia celebrates Victory Day which marks the end of World War II. My grandfather (he was a tankman and a radio operator during the war) received these postcards in the mail in the 80s.

God bless you who lived through the war to win a peaceful future for us. You are fewer and fewer every year. I hope that it wasn’t in vain; that we nor our children nor their children will ever experience what you did. You, who are here and who are not anymore, are in our hearts. Today and every day.

C Днём победы!
