Nelly Mudrezow smiles after getting a standing ovation from students at Rocky Run Middle School in Chantilly, Va., following her discussion of life as a young girl living in the Ukraine under Josef Stalin until the Germans overran her country. She later escaped to the United States, where she has lived for the past 60 years. Mudrezow was one of more than 100 vets who shared their World War II stories with students at Rocky Run during the school's annual World War II Day, called "The Latest Generation Meets the Greatest Generation," on Thursday, June 9, 2011.
