I'm thinking of stopping once I hit 100 RedStars!

I know one guy in Moscow who accumulated couple hundred of Red Stars. He just buys them for few dollars from alcoholics looking to get drunk.
It's sad when you think about this - all those soldiers commited some heroic deeds during the war and now the price of their awards is just one bottle of vodka. |

I have also accumulated about 2500 personnel file photos. I started scanning them in one day, and after two days, and only 200 done, I realized I hadn't even touched the tip of the iceberg! Maybe someday... --Dave Here's a pic of one of several boxes of Glories (yeah, I probably could store them better....) And the photos (each binder has approx 700 photos in it)... |
