WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US World War II veterans hope to visit Russia again when the travel restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic are removed, president and CEO of The Greatest GENERATIONS Foundation Timothy Davis told Sputnik.
“What a difficult time for the world, more importantly, our esteemed World War II veterans,” Davis said. “We still have high expectations of returning to Russia – once COVID-19 is over and cleared to travel.”
The trip, sponsored by the foundation, was canceled due to the measures the various authorities undertook to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Ahead of the upcoming 76th anniversary of Victory Day on May 9, Davis shared with Sputnik that the majority of the US veterans are doing well and prepared to travel.
Davis said they believe the foundation can continue its programs serving World War II veterans through 2025 – the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
