July 1 is the unofficial day of combat veterans. Combat Veterans Day
July 1, 2018 at Russian Federation Combat Veterans Day is celebrated. This date does not yet have an official status in the country, but every year it only gains its significance. In other words, on this day, people mourn the veterans who died in combat.
Veterans Day is not dedicated to a specific war. It concerns all veterans who fought for their homeland and fulfilled their duty to it. Also on this day, one should not forget about the living veterans, because now they are the only ones who remember the hostilities and can tell the younger generations about it.
To coincide with a specific date for veterans who took part in hostilities has long been planned not only in the Russian Federation. Many countries also want to honor the memory of all fighters on a particular day and, in order not to forget about them, make a separate holiday. An important point was, this is the choice of the date and month, no one wanted it to be connected with the date of some kind of war. After all, there were a lot of them and not all veterans took part in specific military operations. The best option there was a neutral date, which has nothing to do with wars or military conflicts at all.
Thus, July 1 was chosen so that on this day everyone could remember the fallen veterans during the hostilities and congratulate those who are close to us. The first time the holiday began to be celebrated unofficially was back in the 21st century. History contains in its memory many military events and many lives that have remained on the battlefield. For them, the inhabitants of the country can bring flowers and leave them at the monument.
Many of the people who died then could not even be identified. Therefore, many soldiers are buried far from their homeland, but on this day everyone nice words can reach them. For many veterans, the dead guys are not just soldiers, but relatives and comrades. After so many years, it still hurts them to remember the losses, and especially on Veterans Day to hold back tears. Veterans hope that the holiday will still be made official, although now it does not really matter. The main thing is that they will always remember that time and the day is not important for this.
The date, which is now celebrated in unofficial status, was adopted back in 2009. It is intended for those veterans who fought after the Second World War. To select the date, special surveys of veterans were conducted and for July 1, the largest number votes. Such information was collected and recorded in an official document. These documents were sent to the Government of the Russian Federation more than once with a request to assign the status of an official holiday to Veterans Day.
Indeed, this holiday should have its own date, because veterans took part in so many battles that were held not only on the territory of Russia. The government of the Russian Federation has not yet made a final decision, referring to the fact that there is a similar holiday in the state and it is held on February 15. On this day, the memory of all those who died outside the homeland while fulfilling their duty to the fatherland is honored.
Veterans Day organizers do not agree with the statements of the government of the Russian Federation. February 15 and July 1 will have different purposes, and the end of the war in Afghanistan cannot be attributed to honoring veterans who have taken part in other hostilities. All the same, each date should have its own specifics so that people can delve into what is happening and understand the essence of each holiday.
Now the Veterans Day holiday is unofficial, but despite this, many residents of the country are beginning to develop a trend towards its promotion. Every year, all residents must honor the memory of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, but do not forget about veterans of other military operations. It is for this purpose that the organizers are trying to achieve official recognition of Veterans Day.
For all residents of the country, this is a good day to delve into the history of the country, and for veterans to remember all their comrades-in-arms. In many cities of the Russian Federation, Veterans Day is becoming a permanent character with respect to the memory of the fallen soldiers near the memorial. In some cities, concert programs are organized in the evening in which Russian performers take part.
Happy Holidays bro!!! Good luck, kindness and peaceful sky to you! A bright and long memory to those who did not return ...

Peaceful day, the sun is shining in the sky,
The wind in the crowns plays with foliage.
Me today is Veterans Day
Congrats on your silence.
The battles died down, they died down,
And only memory fights in a dream,
Fighting friends come with her,
What remained in someone else's war.
Fighting let him not know the action
Neither your son, nor grandson, nor brother,
You honestly gave the debt to the Motherland,
Combat veteran, soldier.
***
At a difficult hour, at a military hour
You were facing the enemy.
And that mortal path is not easy,
You kept the order.
You fought for freedom
Not afraid of bullets, shells,
All the hardships of war
Passed only with the thought: "It is necessary!"
Children need to live
In a peaceful, quiet, good hour.
You have served us well.
Congratulations today!

Respect is in the air...
Putting on a tunic with orders,
The veteran is sad in his own way.
He is sad for exploits, tasks,
For the comrades who fell with courage in battle,
He drowns in memories
Caring for your dream.
And on a day so significant, special,
I wish him peace, kindness,
For life to be good
So that he does not know trouble.

There is a war, and not for an hour
Conflicts won't subside
Shots are heard everywhere
And somewhere people are dying.
All those who have been in a fight

All the battles and wars of the participants!
May you win the battle
And the roar of war subsided
You take care of your life
Relatives and relatives.

Will never forget about
And if he lacked strength,
Returned in thoughts there ... "

The memorial date project, which is currently being discussed in the Russian Federation by veterans, authorities and the media.
July 1 is the date of the annual general meeting of Russian veterans of military operations and local conflicts.
Since 2009, it has been unofficially celebrated as the "Day of Remembrance and Sorrow for War Veterans".
Meetings of veterans are held in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Samara, Orenburg, Chelyabinsk and other Russian cities.
Arguments of supporters of fixing the "Day of combat veterans" for the date "July 1":
July 1, unlike February 15, falls in the middle of summer and year, making the date easier to remember and mass gatherings of veterans and sympathizers alike. And it is free from historical events and is a military date in the official calendar.
July 1, unlike June 22, is dedicated to local conflicts. A separate date will avoid mutual absorption with such an important event as the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and preserve the specifics of dates. July 1, as a separate date, allows employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and other participants in hostilities who are not military in the literal sense of the word to take part in events.
The date of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan was annually officially celebrated as the "Day of Remembrance of the Internationalist Warriors". Currently, there are separate memorable dates of some wars, dedicated to the history of specific military operations.
At the same time, the USSR and the Russian Federation participated in many local wars and armed conflicts. Not all of them are marked on the calendar or can be officially recognized. There is a need to allocate a common day of remembrance, not related to the latest military history.
General Varennikov supported the celebration of the Combat Veterans Day on February 15:
“All of them conscientiously fulfilled their duty to the Motherland, which then easily forgot them,” said Valentin Varennikov. - I think it is necessary to introduce Public Holiday Veteran's Day...
At the beginning of the century, 1 July was suggested as a convenient date.
On July 1, 2004, the first common monument to the soldiers-internationalists was opened in Azov:
A four-meter stele white marble symbolizes life young man, it is cut off. Two tongues of red flame soaring into the sky - two wars, Chechen and Afghan.
In 2009, more than 3,000 veterans voted for July 1 as a day of commemoration of all hostilities that took place after 1945. On July 1, participants in the movement sent more than 3,000 emails to the website of the President of the Russian Federation with a request to approve a single day of remembrance for all war veterans.
The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation motivated its refusal by the fact that February 15 performs a similar function, although it is the date of the end of the war in Afghanistan.
At the same time, the regional authorities support the very idea of singling out a day for a combat veteran.
The governor of the Moscow region and the head of the committee for preparations for the 20th anniversary of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, Boris Gromov, appealed to the country's leadership with the initiative to establish the Combat Veteran's Day in Russia.
In 2010, a letter is again being prepared to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief with a proposal to enter July 01 in the register of state memorable dates.
At the same time, the establishment of memorable dates on the territory of the Russian Federation is within the competence of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
