And of course there were numerous efforts calling for peace there. And we were told about their experiences during WWII there which called for bravery among the horrors. Kudos to your brave Dad! Wow! My Dad served in the Navy, was the radio operator on the U.S.S. Ranger aircraft carrier, but he was only 13 when WWII started and my grandmother said she was always grateful for that.

And of those in my grandmother's/my peace group, I believe there's only myself and one lady left since the rest of the group were already senior citizens at the time - late 1980s. And though the current citizens of Russia must hate Putin's war which has killed so many, but apparently if they try to protest, like they did in the beginning, they're subject to being imprisoned.
