Future soldier honoring Victory Day. (5.7.2012)
For much of the world, tomorrow marks Victory Day, the end of WWII. Because of the time difference, Russia celebrates on May 9th. This is a reworked image of a young boy attending a previous year's celebration. The medal is one of the highest honors awarded for valor during WWII. The ribbon of St. George was established in 1769, but is presently associated with victory in WWII. Most people will tie this ribbon to their cars over the next few days.
Remember, most of us in the Community were Allies; so please, if you don't like this image, just pass on by. Let's try to maintain a civil community...

on May 26, 2012I like this image very much. Something about the young boy and history. We all sacrificed a lot during WWII and thank God it ended (from my perspective) the way it did. I see this photo as a great reminder of the men who served and died in WWII and a young man who I pray will never have to experience anything like it.

on May 8, 2012Well done! I really dislike the anonymity that smumug allows. Other sites like 500px.com don't allow non-members to comment or vote and you can't do either unless you are logged in. So no sneaking around leaving cowardly guest comments and phantom red thumbs.
