The mayor in charge of Berlin formally recognizes the Berlin Health Corps.
Get ready to honor our brave troops! Berlin's Governing Mayor, Kai Wegner, is set to pay homage to soldier men and women on the inaugural National Veterans Day, slated for Spandau on an upcoming Sunday[1].
A flag ribbon ceremony will be held to show Berlin's unique bond with the 1st Sanitary Regiment[1]. "This gesture underscores Berlin's special connection to this federal military unit stationed right here," quotes CDU politician Wegner. "I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all soldier men and women for their service to our nation."
Central Event near the Reichstag Building
The National Veterans Day will serve as an opportunity to laud active and former soldiers of the Bundeswehr for their tireless service[1]. Stealing the limelight will be a grand event taking place in the vicinity of the iconic Reichstag building. Wegner will bestow the flag ribbon at a moving parade within the Blücher barracks in Spandau. This accolade is the highest honor a military unit can receive from a state government[1].
Wegner: "Supreme Recognition" for Soldier Men and Women
Veterans Day is a chance to emphasize the veterans' critical role in upholding peace, freedom, and democracy. After all, the troops of the Bundeswehr safeguard and defend our country, even risking their own lives in the direst of situations to ensure our freedom and peace[1]. They truly deserve the "supreme recognition," quotes Wegner.
Approximately ten million individuals have served in the military, as either professional or conscript soldiers, or in active duty. They have been deployed to various regions, such as Afghanistan, Mali, and Bosnia-Herzegovina[3].
