I congratulate you with the holiday - Day of the Defender of Fatherland!

This day we honor people who service, ensure sovereignty and safety of our land, provide power and authority in the nation with peaceful work. We admire and are proud of their feat. They are a worthy example of selfless service to the Fatherland and our people.

The participants of the great Patriotic war, soldiers-internationalists, defenders of state interests in hot spots have always been an example of faithful service to the Faherland for us. Your feats, bravery and valiant work for peace are an example to follow for the young generation, who continues the sacred traditions of the Russian army with honor and dignity.

I express my sincere gratitude to the mothers of soldiers and officers for the fact that they brought up strong, courageous, brave sons – defenders of the Fatherland, people for whom military service has become the meaning of all life, soldiers who performed their military duty in local conflicts.

Today in the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the best military and labor traditions are preserved and developed, we do our best to educate young people in the spirit of patriotism, love for their native land, loyalty to duty.

Dear or defender of Fatherland!
