Mary: Yes, I am. To the point, Peter, why haven't you been at college today?
Peter: I haven't felt well, since morning. I have been a bit shaky and I have had a high temperature. Now, I'm starting feeling a bit better.
Mary: Well, I hope this time you didn't forget about Mark's birthday.
Peter: Mary! How can you say this! Mark just didn't invite me to his last birthday a year ago! That's why I didn't go to congratulate him, and that was the only reason.
Mary: Really? But I heard that you were invited by him and you even borrowed some money from Mendy to buy him a present for his birthday and then you lost it! Didn't you?
Peter: Nonsense! Who told you this? Yes, I actually bought a present and was waiting for his invitation. But I repeat this once again, I wasn't invited by Mark. That's the thing.
Mary: Ok, calm down, please. You shouldn't scream at me. Incidentally, I know that this time Mark is going to invite you. He is throwing a party the day after tomorrow. Are you going to go to his place this time? But please, if you go, don't come ten minutes after everyone has sat at the table with a goblet of champagne!
Peter: You again started blaming me for the things I don't do. When was I late last time? Can you remind me?
Mary: Oh, no, I confused you with your brother Mike. I apologize for it. So, what's your decision?
Peter: Hmmm...I think I will go to his birthday this time though I have felt a bit offended by his behaviour lately.
Long ago the Great Patriotic War ended. It was the ruthless and bloodiest war of the twentieth century. But even now, those who remember that war, they are veterans, live among us. There are very few of them left. At a time when they were young, slightly older than us, they defended their homeland from a cruel enemy in the Soviet army.
I'm interested in the stories of veteran Leonid Ivanovich Kulikov about military service and the Great Patriotic War. Now Leonid Ivanovich is a colonel in retirement, he has the entire tunic in awards: medals and orders, people respect him. When the fascists occupied his small town in Moldova, he was 15 years old. He was captured. But I did not get to the camp, I ran away. For a long time he hid in the woods, he waited for his troops to liberate the region. And when the village was rescued from the Germans, he was taken into the army and sent to study in the tank school. Leonid Ivanovich recalls that at that time it was very difficult. They worked all day, learned to drive combat vehicles, to shoot guns that were on tanks. There was no time to rest, because the army needed good tankers. The tank's details are heavy, the physical loads were great, but there was not enough food. The cadets were constantly undernourished. But all stood firm, because it was hard for everyone at that time. And when Leonid Ivanovich finished his studies, he was sent to fight on the front line. The gunner at the best T-34 tank, he thundered the enemy along with other soldiers in Romania, Hungary. When the war was over, another ten years was a tanker, because the soldiers were not allowed to go home for a long time. The army needed to be kept strong so that soldiers and officers could protect peace in our country after the war.
Despite everything, the heavy army life of Leonid Ivanovich at that time was pleasant. It was very interesting. He traveled all over the country, he had many friends! And the young tankman decided to continue studying. He became an officer, commander of a tank unit.
Now Leonid Ivanovich eighty-seven years. Thanks to him, his comrades and all the veterans for the fact that we have peace now.
