Jordan celebrates Veterans Day to honor military retirees' sacrifices

Jordan marks "Veterans and Retired Military Personnel Day" to honor the men who carried the nation's flag and defended its security and stability, making significant sacrifices throughout their service in the Jordanian Armed Forces and security agencies.

This day, established by His Majesty King Abdullah II, embodies a steadfast commitment to recognizing the military contributions and loyalty of former soldiers who devoted their lives to serving the nation.

In this regard, each year, the Hashemite leadership reaffirms its dedication to supporting this important group, based on a firm belief that retired military personnel are the shield that protected the country in the past and continue to play a vital role in shaping the future.

The day also serves as a reminder of the heroic actions of the Jordanian Arab Army soldiers, whether in defending the homeland or participating in international peacekeeping missions. Jordanian military personnel have played a distinguished role in promoting stability in conflict zones around the world, earning them widespread international respect.

"Veterans and Retired Military Personnel Day" remains an annual occasion in which Jordanians renew their oath of loyalty and appreciation for those who sacrificed everything for the nation, ensuring that Jordan remains proud, secure, and stable under the wise leadership of the Hashemite monarchy.
