Prime Minister Viorica Dancila on Sunday sent a message on occasion of Veterans Day, bringing to mind that the sacrifice of Romanian soldiers made the Greater Union of 1918 possible.
"On this day with a symbolic charge, we are honouring our heroes, who re-wrote Romania's history and put their personal sacrifice to the service of the nation's welfare. One hundred years ago, on 11 November 1918, at 11:00, the Armistice was being signed between the powers of the Entente and Germany, an act that ended World War I. The sacrifice of the Romanian soldiers made the Greater Union of 1 December 1918 possible, a national goal that has changed the history of our country. Soon we'll be celebrating the Greater Union Centennial. Our entire gratitude to the heroes who contributed to building Great Romania!," Viorica Dancila says in her message.
The PM also voices consideration to the veterans of WWII, who "defended with patriotism, strength and a lot of courage the national values and interests."
"Today we honour as well the Romanian servicemen present over the past years in the theatres of operations, under NATO, UN, OSCE or EU mandate. It is the new generation of winners. They also had an important role in keeping peace and security in conflict areas, acknowledged by the foreign partners, supported the local populations to take their fate into their own hands and have a better life, consolidated the allies' confidence in Romania and brought a huge prestige to our country - also, with sacrifice from them and their families. Our thought goes out today with compassion to the families who lost in missions sons, husbands, fathers or dear ones. Our homage to the 29 heroes who made the supreme sacrifice. To those injured in missions we wish good health and strength, and to those in the theatres of operations, to come back home safely!," Dancila said.
At the end of her message, the PM voices on her behalf and on behalf of the Government gratitude to the Romanian veterans. "On my behalf and on behalf of Romania's Government, I am voicing gratitude to the Romanian veterans! I am proud of being part of the people having such heroes! Many happy returns, Romania!," the Prime Minister's message says.
