Every year in late winter, our nation celebrates date. It is a celebration of men - Defender of the Fatherland Day. On this day we celebrate our fathers, brothers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers.

Actually, if you give serious consideration to the value of this holiday, the need to congratulate especially those men who are related to the defense of the Fatherland. For example, the military, police, security personnel, rescue workers, firefighters, doctors. Well, of course, all those men who served in the military.

Not in vain before, in the Soviet Union, February 23 was the Day of the Soviet Army. Then almost all men necessarily called into the army. Now serve in the army, not all guys.

But the people to congratulate on February 23 all the men and even boys too. After all, every man can become a defender of the Fatherland, if need be. For example, if you happen to war or natural disaster. If it is in danger of being weak and defenseless, women, elderly and children, any real man would be their protector. So, will defend their homeland.

In my family, too, to make presents her male half on February 23. That is, both my grandfathers and father. But especially solemnly every time we congratulate my great-grandfather. He defended the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War. He was then just 18 years old, and he was sitting in a trench with a rifle and shoot at enemies. My great-grandfather - the real defenders of the Fatherland.
