Guards unit

Guards units are elite units and formations in the armed forces of the former Soviet Union and currently in the armed forces of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. These units were awarded Guards status after distinguishing themselves in service, and are considered to have elite status. The Guards designation originated during the Eastern Front (World War II) of 1941–45, its name coming from the Tsarist Imperial Guard.Belarusian: Гвардыя, Hvardyya, Russian: Гвардия, Gvardiya, Ukrainian: Гвардія, Hvardiya.

History

The title of the Soviet Guards was first introduced on September 18, 1941 in accordance with the decision of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief (Stavka Verkhovnogo Glavnokomanduyuschego) and by the order №308 of the People's Commissar of Defense for the distinguished services during the Yelnya Offensive. The 100th, 127th, 153rd and 161st Rifle Divisions were renamed into the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Guards Divisions, respectively. The Soviet 316th Rifle Division was renamed to the 8th Guards Rifle Division on November 18, 1941, following the actions of the Panfilovtsy and was given the Panfilovskaya title in honor of its late commander Ivan Panfilov. By December 31, 1941 the 107th, 120th, 64th, 316th, 78th, and 52nd Rifle Divisions had become the 5th through 10th Guards Rifle Divisions.

Great Night

by: William Beckett

Started out a night full of promise
But if I'm perfectly honest
It was too good to be true
I thought we had quite the connection
But I was headed in a different direction from you
What can I do to thank you?
I've had a great night
I've had a great night
But this wasn't it, oh no
This wasn't it
I've had a great night
I've had a great night
But this wasn't it, oh no
This wasn't it
I was there with my glass half full
You were drinking like a raging bull to get through
An hour or two
Your voice was cutting like a knife in my head
What did you say?
What have I said?
I wanna make an excuse to thank you
I've had a great night
I've had a great night
But this wasn't it, oh no
This wasn't it
I've had a great night
I've had a great night
But this wasn't it, oh no
This wasn't it
Thanks for the icing on the cake
But it came just a little too late
It's all my fault
My heart's locked up in a vault
And thanks for the trip around the moon
Sorry it had to end so soon
I couldn't breathe
And air is something I need
I've had a great night
I've had a great night
But this wasn't it, oh no
This wasn't it
I've had a great night
I've had a great night
But this wasn't it, oh no
