Dear servicemen and veterans of the Armed Forces

of Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic!

Dear World War II veterans and defenders of Pridnestrovie!

Dear Pridnestrovians!

On behalf of the Parliament of Pridnestrovie I heartily congratulate you on the Day of Defender of the Fatherland!

This national holiday is based on respect for our society to the military labor servicemen, all those who stand guard national interests and security of the republic.

Military service has always been a matter of honor, school of courage and dedication, prime example of such selfless service for the homeland - our veterans. Hostile intentions of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers adequately countered loyalty, strength of spirit and true heroism. Today's defenders of the Motherland continue the best traditions of their predecessors based on the values ​​of citizenship and patriotism worthy of performing the tasks. Military service was not only a sacred duty, but a vocation, the meaning of life for many of them.

Each of us aspires to full our home with peace, prosperity and love.

The desire to preserve national identity, spirituality, culture join the hope and confidence that the established traditions, boundless love for the native land and professionalism of the defenders of the Motherland is the reliable protection of democratic development of the Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic.

I wish all the defenders of the Fatherland confidence in the future, peace and prosperity! Let the difficulties that you face on your journey will always be easy to overcome. Good health, warmth and festive mood!

Chairman of the Parliament of Pridnestrovie M.P. Burla
