Border Guards Day in Belarus
May 28 · Level 7 · #681 of 2238
Border Guards Day in Belarus recognises the people who guard the national frontier and operate border checkpoints. It brings together serving personnel and veterans, while also remembering those who died in service and introducing younger generations to the profession.
How it is celebrated: units hold ceremonies and present awards. Border guards and veterans lay flowers at memorials, attend commemorative events and reunite with former colleagues.
Belarus is landlocked, but border protection still involves water. Sections of its frontier follow rivers and lakes, adding a different environment to the work of guarding land borders.
