May 7, 2015 Defender of the Fatherland Day - Kazakhstan

Defender of the Fatherland Day - Kazakhstan celebrates the 20th anniversary of the establishment of their independent country and the formation of their armed forces. The name of the holiday echoes back to the time when the country was part to the Soviet Union (many of the former countries still celebrate that but on September 23). This is a day to thank all those who have served the country both past and present.
