November 10: Celebrating Ministry of Internal Affairs Veterans Day
On November 10, the Ministry of Internal Affairs observes Veterans Day, a celebration established last year to honor the dedicated service and invaluable contributions of its veterans. This occasion emphasizes the essential role of these individuals in upholding the law and order in society.
The Significance of Veterans Day
During the commemorative events, Minister of Internal Affairs Erjan Sadenov stated, “You are the foundation of our system, a lasting support for law and order, and a true example for the younger generation.” Such remarks reflect the deep respect and pride for those who have served.
Honoring the Veterans
The event recognizes veterans from various backgrounds, including:
- Participants of World War II
- Veterans of the Afghan war
- Front-line workers
- Laborers from the home front
- Chernobyl disaster responders
Even in retirement, many veterans continue to contribute actively, sharing their extensive professional knowledge and life experiences with younger officers.
New Initiatives to Foster Connections
In late 2023, a Mentor Council was established upon the minister’s directive, aiming to connect veterans across all regions of the country. This initiative is already producing positive outcomes, reinforcing intergenerational bonds within the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Cultural Celebrations
To mark the occasion, a festive concert was organized for the veterans. The hard work and achievements of the older generation will always be cherished and serve as a shining example for the youth.
These values inspire younger officers to remain committed to their duties, honesty, and dedication to their profession.
