On the anniversary of the victory over the Bolsheviks in 1920, there will be an annual celebration of the Polish Army Day under the slogan "Become a soldier of the Republic of Poland". The main celebrations will take place on Sunday, August 15 in Warsaw, in front of the tomb of an unknown soldier. On this occasion, on August 14 and 15, there are also 30 picnics throughout Poland. The largest, Warsaw will be an opportunity to acquire patriotic, historical and military philatelic values and various gadgets at the Poczta Polska's shopping stand organized on this occasion, which will appear at the PGE National Stadium in Warsaw at ul.

The organizers of the ceremony announced many attractions, such as military equipment shows and training of soldiers, flights of aircraft, concerts of military orchestras, children's play zones and soldier's cuisine, and - what is important in the face of the announced fourth pandemic wave - mobile vaccination points against Covid19.
Poczta Polska shapes the national historical awareness of society. The topics of philatelic emissions play an important role in educating Poles, the stamps are found by images of outstanding characters associated with the most important values and reminding important historical events. In 2020, the post office commemorated the emissions of stamps, including 100th anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw or the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Poczta Polska also does not forget about national heroes. In June last year, a stamp dedicated to Lt. Col. Jan Kowalewski, a great cryptologist who broke Soviet ciphers during the Polish-Bolshevik war.
Poczta Polska is an important element of the country's critical infrastructure. The company is also actively involved in the promotion of defensive attitudes and the idea of military service, as evidenced by the introduction in February this year a stamp with the image of a soldier of territorial defense forces, and in previous years, including stamps and cards devoted to history and the present day of the Polish Army.
