The spectators were shown artillery, mortars, powerful Swedish trucks with machine guns on the roof, field locators, Latvian coast guard equipment and other various machine guns.
Thousands of people watched the parade.
"The choice of the military profession is justified only when a person has a true vocation. This profession requires not only physical strength and courage, but also enthusiasm to serve his Fatherland. Even risking his own life", - President Andris Berzins began his speech before a military parade.
He noted that serving his country is an honor and a mission. Each soldier swears not to spare his strength, health and life, defending the Latvian state and its independence.
Congratulating those present on the national holiday, Berzins expressed special gratitude to the families of the military. "Thanks to the mothers, wives, children and all your loved ones for the love they give you and which supports you in this difficult profession. Thank you all and hope that it is an honor for every soldier to serve Latvia!" He added.
