"The Conclave Soldiers are a symbol of the intergenerational bond - those who put patriotism and love of the Homeland higher than their own lives. They became continuators of confederate, insurgent and irredentist traditions under communism". - said Speaker of the Sejm Marek Kuchciński. "Today, the Wyklęcci Soldiers have become icons of the young generation, which has contributed to reevaluating the opinion about the heroes of the anti-communist underground and consolidating the memory of their mission in a modern way," he argued.

President Andrzej Duda wrote in a letter to the conference participants that: "independent Poland makes efforts to duly honor its best sons, who in times of terror and enslavement gave splendid proofs of valor and courage".

"I would like to make it resound: without a doubt, the fact that today young people are with Poland and create Poland, and they are without a doubt those who show that it is not just any Poland they want to deal with, but the Poland of the Polish Soldiers of the Ex-Claustodians, that is, they are this returning army," - Prof. Jan Żaryn said.

Jan Józef Kasprzyk, the acting head of the Office for War Veterans Affairs, also emphasized the bond that connected young people with the soldiers of the anti-communist underground. "The fact that there are young people here today who see in them their point of reference, in their attitudes a source of value and strength," he said.

The Excluded Soldier Veronika Sebastianowicz from Belarus said: "An Unbroken Soldier rarely cries, but now I can't hold back tears of joy that today we have such great respect, so much seriousness, good words, that one wants to live and act further. Because for us, the War did not end for the Polish Underground Soldiers living in the Borderlands. We are faithful to our oath, we are there to fight for our Polish land.

The conference was one of the events accompanying the National Day of Remembrance of the Aged Soldiers, which falls on March 1. It was established by the Parliament in 2011 "as a tribute to the Allied Soldiers - heroes of the anti-communist underground who defended the independent existence of the Polish State, fighting for the right to self-determination and the realization of the democratic aspirations of Polish society, with arms in their hands, as well as in other ways, resisted Soviet aggression and the imposed by force communist regime.
