| CELEBRATING MAY DAY, AND THE 2nd ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONCLUSION TO THE WINTER OFFENSIVE 53PH (POST HIROSHIMA) MAY DAY IS TRADITIONALLY OBSERVED ON THE 1st OF MAY. THIS SACRED DAY IS THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS HOLIDAY. HISTORICALLY WORKERS WOULD HOLD A ONE DAY WORK STOPPAGE, GATHER TOGETHER, AND CELEBRATE THE DAY OF FREEDOM. MAY 7th MARKED THE 2nd ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONCLUSION OF THE WINTER OFFENSIVE 53PH. THIS ILL FATED OPERATION WAS A COLLECTION OF VICTORIES AND REVERSALS THAT WERE COSTLY TO THE REVOLUTION. TWO YEARS LATER, THOSE WHO SERVED IN THIS GLORIOUS UPRISING AGAINST THE EVIL EMPIRE AND ITS LEGITIMIZER, THE CORPORATE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX, REMEMBER THEIR EXPERIENCES AND THOSE WHO WERE LOST. ON MAY 7th BOTH OF THESE IMPORTANT DATES WERE CELEBRATED. THOUGH THE WEATHER DID NOT PERMIT THE SCHEDULED LAUNCH OF THE XIIIth SL's PROTOTYPE DELIVERY VEHICLE, THE RED BANNER OF SOCIALIST REVOLUTION DEFIANTLY WAVED IN THE DAMP AIR. SHARING IN THE MERRIMENT WERE COMRADES AND SUPPORTERS OF THE REVOLUTION. SEVERAL SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS TOOK PLACE ABOUT WHERE WE WERE HEADED, AND THE SACRIFICES AND ACHIEVEMENTS MADE IN THE LAST YEAR. to return to june's table of contents |
