Veteran. How many   meanings are there in this word?!!! A veteran poet, a war veteran, a veteran teacher, etc. When we hear these words, we imagine a wise man. The veteran of the war is the most honorable person. On the 7 of May - the Day of Defenders of the Motherland, May 9 - Victory Day schoolchildren give gifts to war veterans. We, students of the profile school of KazNU visited the honorary war veteran Tashaukhan Alimbekov, talked, received words of farewell, handed our gifts. Tashauhan Ata told what difficulties the Soviet people experienced during the war years. We are proud that we still have such personalities as Tashauhan ata.
