IN line with the observance of Philippine Veterans Week from April 5 to 12 and Araw ng Kagitingan on April 9, Department of National Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Monday reminded all Filipinos, especially the youth, to take time in honoring the nation’s veterans.
Highlighting the theme of this year’s observance, “Kagitingan ng mga Beterano, Pundasyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino,” Galvez reminded the members of the One Defense Team to actively participate in the series of commemorative and special events spearheaded by the DND and the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office, to memorialize the valor and heroic deeds of the Filipino veterans.
Galvez also urged parents to teach their children and the youth love of country and its history so they can better understand the sacrifices made by Filipino veterans and soldiers. “During the Lenten break, may we empathize with the suffering of our fellowmen and find profound meaning in the death of Jesus Christ. It is my fervent hope that all these will help foster social healing, reconciliation, and national unity for nation building—these are what our veterans lived and died for, especially during that fateful Good Friday when they conquered the infamous Bataan Death March.
