My Dad just received another medal for his service in WWII. This time it's the "Russian Convoy Medal" also called the "Victory in the Great Patriotic War" medal awarded by the Russian government to veterans of the Russian convoys. Even people who aren't Russian are awarded it and seeing as how my dad's ship was sunk and he had to swim for 15 minutes through freezing Arctic waters to a rescue ship, I think he deserves it!
