Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nabih Berri, said on the occasion of the Eighty-One Years of Army Day, the Lebanese Army remains the model that is tested and not tested, tested and not tested in unity, identity, belonging, sacrifice and loyalty, in defense of Lebanon, the one united, model homeland that the Lebanese aspire to, not the model areas whose borders are drawn by the Israeli occupier with fire, killing and destruction.
President Berri added: The army is the Lebanese army, and the Lebanese are theirs, theirs, and the focus of their hopes to protect sovereignty, liberate land and people, and maintain stability and civil peace. To this unifying national institution, on its anniversary, the leaders, officers, NCOs, soldiers, martyrs, and wounded greet a greeting of pride and appreciation. With you and with you, we protect and create the resurrection of Lebanon and complete the liberation of its land.
