For Jarvis, the rich man is a very compassionate and kind woman, and she tells the most. An idea came up: "I have contributed so many exhibitions to the joy of the motherland and ensured the victory of every war." What about the mothers who have worked hard to raise their children? "

Their son, who went to the battlefield, was either injured or dead, saying that he was an unknown mother. "That's the idea.
