Beautiful cards on February 23

Defender of the Fatherland Day is a holiday with a rich history. It originated in 1919 and was originally associated with the anniversary of the Workers and Peasants Red Army (RKKA). After the Great Patriotic War it became the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy - another reminder of the feats of soldiers and officers who fought against the Nazi invaders. In 1995, the celebration received its modern name, and since 2001 it has also been an official holiday.

Today's Defender of the Fatherland Day honors men of all ages, regardless of their connection to the military. Boys receive congratulations as future defenders of the Motherland, young men - as citizens who are performing or have already performed their duty to the country on compulsory service, men - as active servicemen and veterans.

Congratulations on February 23 and men who chose peaceful professions - as the main defenders of the family, loving fathers and husbands, reliable helpers for parents, faithful comrades for brothers and sisters.
