Congratulations to Russia’s paratroopers and veterans of Airborne Forces on Paratroopers Day

August 2, 2016

The President congratulated Russia’s paratroopers and veterans of the Airborne Forces on Paratroopers Day.

The message reads, in part:

“This history of the Airborne Forces was written by courageous people strong in spirit, those who are prepared for serious challenges and the most complex tasks, who treasure and honour the code of an enduring brotherhood in arms, who put loyalty to the Motherland and duty above everything else.

It is important that the current generation of paratroopers revere the patriotic traditions of their predecessors, and measure up to the legendary slogan of the Airborne Forces: “Nobody but us.”

I am confident that you will never fail us and will stand firmly on guard of the national interests and security of our country.”
