Speaking of Russian history – Stalin нет (No!)

From the Kosciuszko Society and the Huffington Post: Josef Stalin Must Not Be Honored At The National D-Day Memorial.

The National D-Day Memorial website notes:

At the eastern entrance of the walk leading to Elmon T. Gray Plaza, the action on the European Theater’s eastern front will be acknowledged with a portrait of Marshal Joseph Stalin, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The National D-Day Memorial in Virginia has, unfortunately, decided honor Josef Stalin by placing his bust on a pedestal at its museum.

Several Polish war veterans in New York, who fought against Stalin and Hitler asked Alex Storozynski, President & Executive Director of the Kosciuszko Foundation, to write something about this outrageous development. His father and grandfather both fought against Nazi and Soviet troops during WWII. His article appears on the Huffington Post. Feel free to add your own comments.

If you are as outraged as I am, please send a letter to the President of the D-Day Memorial, William McIntosh, at the National D-Day Memorial Foundation, P.O. Box 77, Bedford, VA 24523, or call 800-351-DDAY (toll free) or E-mail here. You may also feel free to contact the White House here.

Of note, the plaza where the bust will be placed is named after the Hon. Elmon T. Gray of Virginia, a former Virginia state senator. You can write to him at P.O. Box 82, Waverly VA 23890-0082.
