"We salute you on your day," His Majesty lastly added.

رؤية رفاق السلاح ونحن نحتفل بيوم الجيش أعادتني إلى أيام غالية على قلبي خلال خدمتي مع العديد منهم في جيشنا العربي المصطفوي. أنتم درع الوطن المنيع وحَمَلة إرث المؤسسين الذين قادوا مسيرة استقلال الأردن وبنائه. نؤدي التحية لكم في يومكم pic.twitter.com/LdtU5SsVgm
