There are just as many reasons to protect Latvia, and each of them can be summed up in four words: My Latvia. My responsibility.

There are millions of ways to make Latvia strong. National guardsmen and soldiers are ready to protect Latvia from the first second, from the first centimeter. Every person in Latvia can do this, both by directly participating in the defense of Latvia, serving in the National Guard or supporting the armed forces in training, and in everyday life, doing their work, taking care of their resilience in the information space and readiness for various threats or any of the more than two million reasons that it means Latvia to each of us,” says the commander of the National Guard.
