Is it really for me? ": A letter from a soldier whose shield will be preserved for life Head of the family committee of the soldiers of the homeland, Yulia Balkhova, told how the operation was born "from a Russian soldier to a young patriot of the country". A boy who helps at the front, weaves nets and makes mascot toys, received a letter from a soldier. There was no name on it, but the soldier specifically addressed it. "You can't imagine how he unfolded that envelope, carefully so as not to damage it," remembers Lakhova. The boy asked more than once if the letter was right for him and if he could take it with him. According to her, he will keep it all his life and give it to his children to read. Now the committee wants to have hundreds of thousands of such letters: from those who protect the country to the children they protect.
