During the event, the organizers honored the veterans, presenting them with medals and words of gratitude. The attendees recited war-themed poems and sang songs that reminisced about the fighting on the front and the wait for loved ones to return from the war.

The spirit of victory and pride was in the air, just as it had been 70 years ago.
