We congratulate our Iraqi army on its National Day, which embodies a history and a present worthy of representing Iraq, its people, and its holy land, which embraced the sacrifices, heroics, and victories made by the people of this ancient country in defending their existence, identity, and national affiliation. As we salute all types of army forces on this occasion, we are fully confident that our army, which carries all the extensions of the nation, will remain an impenetrable cover to defend Iraq and the future of its children who aspire to a cherished life and a dignified tomorrow. Happy new year to our army, and mercy and eternity to the martyrs
