19th HRVCON celebrated Victory Day
Members of the 19th Croatian contingent in the ISAF operation in Afghanistan, in the camps Marmal and Croatia on the north of Afghanistan and in the Cobra camp in Kabul, marked the Victory and Homeland Gratitude Day, the Day of Croatian defenders and 17th anniversary of the military-police operation Storm.
“We are proud that our freedom was not given from anyone, but won on our own”, said to the aligned members of the 19th HRVCON the Commander Colonel Tomislav Galić, stressing that we have been now in Afghanistan as representatives of the country which understand what peace, security and stability mean, and expressing gratitude to all those who gave their lives for the freedom of Croatia.
On that occasion Colonel Galić handed over the decisions on promotion and commendations to the prominent members of the contingent that with their actions have achieved notable results in the ISAF.
Members of the contingent who for the first time serve in the ISAF were awarded with NATO medals for honourable and exemplary service.
