It does my heart good to know that there are people who remember the sacrifice made by others so long ago and are doing something to bring them home and give a measure of solace to the families. Al

Moving article, casualties on the eastern front were terrible. Agree with Al's sentiments wholeheartedly.

It seems that the more history I read and discover, the more I dislike governments. It feels like you would want to take care of your dead soilders instead of covering up the horrible losses literally. I know that Stalin was just as bad as some one else, but these men deserve better along with thier families. Bless these white diggers for taking on an endless job of righting a wrong and bringing an end and peace for some families.
