Many of them gave their lives for the sake of freedom and their names will never pass into oblivion. But there are those, who defended our nation in wars for unity and freedom and they are back, living beside us. We are proud of them. Their existence gives us strength and belief that our main attainment – sovereignty, is being unshakable.
