A tangible token of appreciation would be welcome, especially in the form of cash. You can even email it to me!

LOL! I thought you might be wanting to send me some, since you are such a young squirt and I am just an old man who was lucky enough to be born before D-Day and grateful as hell that we dropped the bomb on Japan because my Dad would have been in on the invasion in the Navigator Bombardier seat up front of his Mitchell bomber, a risky occupation for such an event.

The Russians did contribute greatly to the defeat of Nazi Germany, with our help through lend-lease and other arrangements that gave them the wherewithal. They say their best general is General Rusky Winter, which defeated even Napolean.

In the film "Enemy At The Gates" the Russian Army is depicted as crossing the river to attack the Germans at Stalingrad (?). The guy on the loudspeaker says "Don't worry if you don't have a gun. Just wait until somebody gets killed and pick up his."
