Wow, the coolest thing about that citation is that he was at Lake Khasan. Not many people were. Your guy was a career soldier who was involved with the fighting before WWII even officially started!
Hey Mo,
Thanks for the comment! I didn't know much about the Battle of Lake Khasan and am doing some light research now... very cool!
While I was originally hoping that the citation would have had something to do with a bayonet charge, taking out a whole squad of Nazi's, etc. I am still very happy and extremely satisfied with this Red Star and the background story behind it! I'm hoping to be able to print out the pages of the citation to display with it.
lol, nice one, Mo!
My buddy says he looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE
