Sincere congratulations in your own words on Victory Day – 2025

On the night of May 8-9, the act of unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany was signed in the German town of Karlshorst near Berlin, ending the most brutal and bloody military conflict in history. On the night of May 9, the announcer of the All-Union Radio of the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers, Yuri Levitan, announced the long-awaited Victory to Soviet citizens. Despite the lateness of the hour, the country was awake — people were taking to the streets to celebrate, congratulations and cheers were heard everywhere. Almost immediately, May 9th became the red day of the calendar.

Victory Day is a national holiday that does not lose its significance and relevance. You can congratulate everyone on it: relatives, friends, colleagues, acquaintances. Here are some examples:

"Congratulations on the Great Victory Day! I wish you peaceful days, calm nights, endless, clear skies, happy children's laughter, and silence not overshadowed by anxious thoughts and sorrow. May the memory of the heroic deeds of the people who forged Victory with their own hands live for centuries, and gratitude will not fade away in the hearts of descendants!"

"Since May 9th, happy Victory Day! I wish you to remember the history of your country, be proud of the exploits of your ancestors, and gratefully accept the present that they have preserved for us. May the bitter lessons of the past become the basis for a bright future in which there will be no place for the smog of war and the severity of loss!"

"Happy Victory Day, my dears! I wish that, as in the song, we always had the sun, always had the sky, always had our loved ones and yourself. May the Great Victory inspire good deeds, love for the Motherland and loyalty to your ideals!"

Poems to the point of tears happy Great Victory Day

"Thank you for your life and freedom,
Thanks for the sunny May!
You are an honor to the whole country and the people.,
Give it to the one who stood to death!

In the shadow of the sacred obelisk
Bend down and read the names.
Remember them — memory is priceless
About those who saved the Earth.

And may it be Victory Day over her
It rings with a jubilant song.
Thank you for your feat, grandfathers.
We remember! No one is forgotten!"

"There used to be fighting here,
The sky was exploding and crying here.
Do you remember, Motherland, your children
Were you fiercely protected here?

And now the nightingales are singing here.,
May has blossomed like spring cherries,
Name them all, name them,
Those who are frozen in stone.

At the feet of the statue is a sea of flowers,
Victory Day is turning red with carnations
In honor of soldiers, villages, cities —
Everyone whose feat will never fade."

A short touching verse for May 9th, 2025

"On the Day of the Great and Glorious Victory
The noisy world will stop for a while,
Silence with a metronome in a duet
He'll sing a hymn to the fallen in a minute.

We remember you, Fatherland heroes,
We remember you, my sons!
May your descendants continue to be
To have peaceful dreams at night."

"The pace is getting slower every year
Veterans who forged Victory,
Those who saw how formidable the enemy was,
And he knew the comrades of the fallen by sight.

But their feat has not faded in the centuries.,
Illuminating the way to the future for us.
The sun is burning in the orders again,
We will not forget the Ninth of May!"
