I really would like to see if the US can get up enough support to send troops to take part in that Red Square parade. It would certainly be a history-making day. I expect the Brits will also go if we do.
In fact, I'd like to see representatives/delegations from every country that fought against fascism during the war at that celebration. If things in Moscow (and most of the FSU)hadn't still been a little dodgy in 1995 that would have been the perfect time - because I would have still been there.
Ruiz, thanks for the link. I didn't know all those details (especially the flag used and how it was made from tablecloths:wow).:thumbsup
