On this unforgettable day, we first bow our heads in memory of our heroic ancestors who showed unparalleled courage on the battlefields and made a worthy contribution to saving humanity from the scourge of fascism. We express our high respect to the war and labor veterans, our elderly fathers and mothers who are living among us today in good health.
During the years of independence, we remember with love and respect the memory of courageous military personnel and law enforcement officers who died heroically while protecting the inviolability of our Motherland's borders and defending the peaceful and calm life of our people,” the congratulatory letter says.

At the same time, thousands of soldiers and officers were awarded orders and medals, and hundreds of compatriots were awarded the highest titles.
