This day is memorable for all of us. We bow our heads before your feat, pay tribute and express our deepest gratitude for your honest and courageous military and civilian duty. The bitterness of the loss of comrades-in-arms, relatives and friends lives in our hearts like an unhealing wound. We share your grief and pain…

The sons of our Motherland selflessly carried out combat missions, striving to bring peace and tranquility to the Afghan land, and proved that they are worthy of the heroism of their fathers and grandfathers who defeated fascism in the Great Patriotic War.

Today, in peacetime, you demonstrate a principled life position, make a significant contribution to the patriotic education of the younger generation, supporting harmony and stability in society.

We wish veterans of all wars and armed conflicts well-being, happiness and success in all endeavors! Strong health to you and your families! May the future of Belarus be peaceful, and may your deeds and aspirations serve the good of the Fatherland!
