It is a fact that the sincere words of Armenian children born and raised abroad are very often more necessary for Armenian soldiers than food and warm clothes.

As you listen to excerpts of the letters that students of AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School have sent to Armenian soldiers, you will also be convinced that those letters highly motivate the Armenian soldiers defending the border.

Daniel, 12, writes the following: “Soldier, your courage, strength and love for our marvelous country move me a lot! I am very thankful to you for risking your life for our Armenia every day. Words can’t describe how proud I am of you.”

Little Lily always prays for Armenian soldiers. “Hello, soldier! I am an Armenian girl who prays for your safety and security every day. All you Armenian soldiers are the defenders of our nation and homeland. Every Armenian lives happily and in peace because there is an Armenian soldier who defends our borders with weapons day and night and even in the cold and stormy weather. When I think about this, I get very worried. I want world peace and don’t want any Turk to kill an Armenian soldier. I pray for all Armenian soldiers to return to their families. Armenian soldiers are the most important, the most loyal and the bravest soldiers in the world.”

According to little Arne, the existence of Armenia is conditioned by the existence of Armenian soldiers. “You are the most important people for Armenia. If you don’t exist, Armenia won’t exist. All Armenians appreciate you and wish you return to your mothers with victories. I also want to become an Armenian soldier someday and help the Armenian people when they face danger.”

The hospitality of an Armenian is also radicalized in little Mark. “Soldier! I am very thankful and proud that a powerful soldier like you is serving our country. When you return from your military service, our doors will be open for you.”

Little Alexandra has decided to keep the honor of Armenian soldiers and the homeland high by learning her native language well. “I know a lot about the heroic and brave soldiers and the Armenian army. Living abroad, I try to study well, preserve my identity and keep the honor of Armenian soldiers and the Homeland high.”

Another child believes in the supernatural force of Armenian soldiers and says the following: “Soldier! Let the sun rise again. You are the fruit for the nation. With every movement, you sow a new seed, and each seed saves someone’s life. You are the pomegranate of Armenia-brave and powerful, just like the peel of a pomegranate, and your heart is sweet, just like the heart of a pomegranate.”

Little Natalie says the following: “I spent the most memorable days of my life in Armenia, but when I hear that the Mother Homeland is in danger, I lose self-control. I know it is hard to serve in the army, but I am certain that it is pleasant when you defend Armenia just like you would defend your child. I wish you a good military service.”

Diana is proud of her two cousins serving on the border in Karabakh and is grateful to them and all Armenian soldiers who do such a great deed for the Armenian people.

A little Diaspora Armenian girl wants to be recruited and stand with Armenian soldiers and doesn’t care if she is a girl.

Little Michael has questions of concern. “Soldier! I don’t know how you dine, or when you sleep, if you are almost always under fire. You are all very brave soldiers for being able to fight and win on the battlefields of Karabakh.”

All the children are proud of Armenian soldiers, who are leading the country to peace.

Glory and honor to Armenian soldiers!”
