Comment by LevT:
SmerSh is technically not an acronym but a contraction of two words. why not call it KGB or NKVD or GPU or FSB, or KPSS or SSSR or...? (We Russians love acronyms, don't we?)

Very good - not sure how many people will know what the acronym stands for (Smert Shpionam).

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

What words do the letters of the acronym represent? (I acknowledge the historical meaning of Smersh.) I don't think SMERSH is an acronym.

Nice photo. Good composition. Like that it is in black and white and since the subject was from 1943, it's appropriate.

Nice composition with the tree and the large headstone. I like that you've made sure that the words are very clear and readable. It's not a photo that oozes love, but it's easy to find the connection, even though your title led me to a different interpretation. When I first saw it I was thinking of how much we still love those who have gone before us. Nicely done.

"Hand-Over-My-Heart" Thanks for your great sacrifice as well as the continued freedoms my family enjoys! My pittance of Thanks is so meager weighed against your great gift! No repayment possible...Just Eternal Thanks!
