In 1990, in one of the colleges, they decided to celebrate Victory Day.
45 years from the date of completion. And according to tradition, it was necessary to prepare a speech of the frontman before agricultural workers. In the colloquium there was one, and not a simple one, but with the star of the Hero.
Earlier, he was invited to rallies on the occasion of the celebration of Victory Day, but there was an extensive speech required, with some details of the fight against the fascists. In order for everything to go as well, the chairman decided to prepare the frontman, discussing the topic of the speech in advance. For what the veteran, during the reception hours for personal matters, was invited to the office by the chairman. Having explained the situation to the veteran, the chairman took out two cups, a bottle and a simple snack from the safe, in order to disappear all the offices of the meeting.
“Well, Petrovich, I need to tell you what you were awarded for.
“Hero of the Soviet Union,” the chairman said.
Another fifty more.

Then I was told how I was awarded a star. As we were thrown out on that shore, the top command was watching us. Remain or not. When I broke up, everything was quiet. It turns out, I was shooting one of the machine guns - there was no one. But then it happened that I also woke up, and our guns began to shoot. I shot again, I was young, it was scary. At that time, the commander looked at me from that shore in the binoculars. One fighter is brave, one holds. I was not afraid.
