Here I have two links which I hope that you will find of both interest and respect.
In the light of the Kursk Submarine accident on August 12th 2000 I have found the following site http://members.tripod.com/kayjay97/memorial/russia.html This is a tribute page which has been done by my very good friend and co-creator of “Veterans Around The World” Marci. It is a personal but heart felt tribute to fellow comrades who have lost their lives whilst serving their country.
