Every year, when May 9 comes, I remember my school years, when veterans came to us and told about their exploits. These meetings have always been special for us, because they did not just talk about the war, but shared their personal stories.

I remember how on one of those days an old woman who was a nurse at the front came into our class. She told us about how she saved the lives of wounded soldiers, and what horror she saw every day. I was amazed by her courage and courage, and since then she has become a real hero for me.

Such meetings with veterans help preserve the memory of those who fought for our freedom and independence. They allow us to feel the connection of generations, because we not only hear about the past, but also communicate with people who personally experienced the war.

Today, when so many years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, it is our duty to preserve the memory of those who did not return from the front. We must remember the exploits of our ancestors who defended our country and our freedom. Every year when we celebrate Victory Day, we must feel deep respect and gratitude for the veterans who defeated the enemy.

For me, May 9 is not just a holiday, but also a day of remembrance. This is the day we must remember those who fought and died for our freedom. This is the day when we must preserve the memory of those who did not return from the front, and pass this memory on to our descendants. After all, only by remembering the past, we can create a better future for our country.
What does May 9th mean to you? Do you celebrate this day?
