May 9th in Russia

Post by Chiroptile »

Today is one of the most important holidays and one of the biggest celebrations in Russia. May 9th is the date that Germany officially capitulated to the Soviet Union in '45.. Our version of VE day.. It also happens to fall on a beautiful Friday.. (Out here it is, anyway)

I have a feeling lots of expatriated Mosins are itching to talk a little, belch a little fire while reminiscing.. Those of us that can, maybe we can oblige them.. Maybe some Garands could join in as well for old times' sake..

Planning to take my Mosin to the range tomorrow, I'll keep a thought for the Allied soldiers and wonder, 'if my Mosin could talk'.. :?: :)

I knew I was born on May 9th for a reason. :tongue:
