Holiday, which is not.
For me, the holiday began in the underpass metro station "Victory Park" - saw a woman and a man in a "vest" in a wheelchair, that it was impossible to throw up. The pair apparently somewhere in a hurry, and the rails of the ramp does not fit the stroller. As a result, Alexander - partially paralyzed invalid of the 2nd group climbed the stairs up, applying not weak effort. Pram upstairs lifted indifferent bystander.
It turned out that Alexander and his wife Irina in a hurry for a meeting of veterans, and where to go really do not know, and probably will be late due to the fact that each outing to the city becomes a kind of obstacle course. "Good ramps at the metro station" Dinamo "and the station" Airport "there is even a special lift for wheelchair users, but it worked only one day - the day of the opening of the station - says Irina. - And underpasses, subways, and most of the streets are delivered so much trouble, that one trip where ever spent half a day ».

As a result, I came up with the holiday, which is celebrated on the fifth year. "The idea came quite simple. We communicate with co-workers on the forums in the "Classmates" and decided to come up with their holiday. First, they wanted to tie the date of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, and then - to the 11th of December (day of the introduction of troops into Chechnya in 1994) ... I persuaded all. I say: do not need to be combined with some kind of date with some latest and the first Sunday, as do sailors and tankers. Let it be an ordinary day, but that in the summer, when all on vacation and when it's warm and sunny, "- said Vladimir. "Officially, this day has not been recognized by anyone, but we're going, and in Moscow and in other cities. In Moscow, 50-70 people gather on a regular basis ", - he added.
