Unexpected, but therefore even more joyful meetings
Last July, JSC Teplokhim provided assistance in purchasing a night vision scope for one of the SVO participants. That parcel transfer was not at all simple, although now I remember it with a kind smile as an important experience. Much time has passed since then.
Therefore, it was not just a surprise, but a real surprise when the phone call with a request for a personal meeting of that very soldier – Sergey with the plant management to express words of gratitude for the support provided was not just unexpected, but a real surprise. Such pleasant events do not happen every day, so we did not delay, agreeing on the second half of the same day. And this was not just a meeting, but a truly touching story, because the serviceman came to us not alone, but with his family – his wife and parents, which filled the atmosphere with special emotions.
A cozy tea party was conducive to a friendly conversation. Sergey “for the ribbon” almost from the very beginning of the special military operation, where he volunteered without hesitation. He told us about his soldier’s everyday life, his comrades in arms, about how they face difficulties every day, but always find the strength to continue the fight. And his stories sounded genuine pride in his service and the desire to defend his country. For him, this work is not just a duty, but a matter of honor and duty to the Motherland. And the mother’s eyes at that time shone with pride for her son and the happiness of seeing him at home.
On behalf of himself, his family and comrades in arms, he expressed sincere gratitude for the assistance provided, which in moral terms was even more significant than physical, because knowing that someone is ready to lend you a hand or lend a shoulder for support is the highest value, which gives strength to fight on, maintains fighting spirit.
With a firm handshake and a kind smile, he said goodbye to us. But we are not saying goodbye. We are waiting for a new meeting, in which we will definitely congratulate each other on the Victory!
