victory day celebration

I would like to thank His Excellency Yuri V. Ushakov Ambassador Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary for inviting me to exhibit part of the collection at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Washington D.C. and for accepting a copy of my book, World War II Parade Uniforms of the Soviet Union. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to speak with the many Soviet World War II veterans who were there to accept their Anniversary medals. The Russian veterans' heartfelt appreciation and understanding of the collection humbled me, and I was very touched by their kind words.
