Davidzon Radio, www.davidzonradio.com invites World War II Veterans and members of their families to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of a Victory Day that marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany in the World War II. The May 9th Victory Day is celebrated in many countries and observed by all of Russian-speaking Americans, in memory of those who lost their lives in the Second World War. Public officials, such as Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and representatives from consulates of Former Soviet Union Republics will address the audience; gala concert of songs of the war times is to follow, at the Millennium Theater at 1029 Brighton Beach Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11235 on Wednesday, May 9th at 5:00pm.

On the victory day, American and Russian veterans will unite, hug each other, and refresh their memories of the best years of their lives and the mission that they accomplished. In the foyer of the theatre, all participants will have a sto gram (shot of vodka) with a traditional dark Russian bread. A set-up scene on the stage will show actors dressed as soldiers resting and singing songs in order to get inspiration and strength for a new war day.

It is a big day in History and it has to be celebrated. The audience of some of my radio programs is over 70 80 years old. They asked me to put together a celebration. I love veterans. My uncle David Fraygun died as a hero in 1942. My wife Natasha will bring her father, who is 82 years old, who fought in this war. I believe we have just a few years left to thank those who fought for the liberty of a mankind, - said Michael Bratslavskiy, a popular radio host organizing this event.
