Therefore, Moldova is presently marking a double holiday. This makes us stronger and more determined to fight for the values and ideals which animate the 9 May Day. Namely this day teaches us to never forget the lessons of the past and look with confidence in our future.    

Dear veterans,  

We express our full gratitude for your deeds, for the courage and sacrifice you proved. The Second World War was one of the greatest tragedies of the contemporary history, and we should never forget the lessons of this terrible war. And especially we must not forget those who contributed to its ceasing. Eternal memory to the dead heroes!”
