Dear men! Dear friends!

I congratulate you on the Day of Fatherland Defenders and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus!

We honor the memory of those who has been defending the peaceful skies above our country during the struggle years. We thank those who is currently serving in the army and security forces, thus providing safety to our citizens. We appreciate the input of everyone who is serving to Belarus doing their jobs, be it a teacher by the blackboard, an engineer at a manufacture, a cadet or a newly drafted man. You all strengthen the future of our country.

I wish you good health, strong spirit to pass through difficulties as well as inner harmony. Let simple joys, such as family warmth, support from your friends and confidence in future always find a place in your life between service and responsibility.

Let Belarus we protect by work and care remain a true home for anyone. Bright, reliable and a sweet home.
