She was just settling into married life when the "Great Patriotic War" broke out. Her husband, who had no military training, was drafted immediately. Their daughter never got the chance to meet her father.
My grandmother was a hero and a highly decorated veteran.
She was awarded several medals for "For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War " (World War II, «За доблестный труд в Великой Отечественной войне 1941–1945 гг.»), "For Labor Valor" ( «За трудовую доблесть») and "Veteran of Labor"
She saved many orphaned children during the war and, later, was the best grandmother one could wish for.
