Part of my job is doing all the plant care in local cemeteries. I try to learn about the people I work around to build a sense of social utility in the work. Today’s theme was “What did this person do in WW2?”. Most of them had support roles or basic infantry assignments. When I googled one name though, he was smiling in front of a plane decorated in 10+ swastika trophies. He shot down a V1 rocket.
The next time I go back there it’ll be with flowers.

There’s a small memorial to the efforts of the USSR in a park nearby me (that’s as vague as I’ll get), that is completely unexpected for the area it’s in, and it looks well-cared for. I’ll think of you next time I pass by
That sounds so cool
I hope it’s still there, actually, it’s very nondescript and probably that’s why it hasn’t been removed, but I equally wouldn’t be surprised if someone has reported it to the council.

@Civility@hexbear.net can I get your opinion on this?
That’s so badass. Hope he is resting well.
RIP to a real one.
