**Speech of the Dean of the College on the Occasion of the Iraqi Army Day**

On the occasion of the Iraqi Army Day, we extend our highest congratulations and appreciation to the heroes of our armed forces, who throughout history have written the most magnificent epics of sacrifice and devotion in defense of Iraq’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the dignity of its people. The Iraqi Army has been, and will continue to be, an enduring national symbol that embodies the values of discipline, loyalty, and patriotism, fulfilling its noble mission in maintaining security and stability and in building a safe future for generations to come. On this cherished national occasion, we reaffirm our profound pride in our heroic military institution and highly commend the sacrifices of its members—martyrs, wounded, and fighters—who have given their most precious possessions so that Iraq may remain proud and dignified. We pray to Almighty God to protect Iraq and its valiant army and to bestow upon the country the enduring blessings of security and peace.
