Our neighbors were from Russia.
We “adopted” their son after he became good friends with our son and we still keep in touch with him. A good kid.
He was always proud of his heritage and it was surprising when he wanted to join the Air Force. We think that his dad put a kibosh on that.
Anyway, we have always wondered if they were somehow connected in the Russian government. They seemed to have a lot of money.
Side note: lots of Russian kiddos were adopted by US families. My old friend adopted two Russian boys.
Don’t get me wrong.
I’m not saying there aren’t any good Russians.
It’s just that I spent so many years preparing to fight them.
They were always, “Going to pour through the Fulda Gap like a steel tsunami!”
Well, it was my job to break up their little surf party.
Kowabunga, commies!!!
