PM Dancila: Marines bring new meanings and connotations to such notions as devotion, courage and professionalism

Prime Minister Viorica Dancila on Wednesday sent a message of congratulations to the marines and civilians on the Romanian Navy Day, while mentioning that, under the national flag, they bring "new meanings and deeper connotations to such notions as devotion, courage and professionalism" every day.

"August 15 carries strong significations for the Romanians, for this is the day when we celebrate both the Assumption and the Romanian Navy. My thoughts today are with the marines and the civilians, with all those who devoted themselves to the navy-related fields. Under the national flag, they bring new meanings and deeper connotations to such notions of devotion, courage and professionalism. Through their participation in the multinational exercises alongside our partners from the North-Atlantic Alliance and their active contribution to the implementation of the collective security measures of the Alliance, the marines from the Romanian Naval Forces honor Romania," said the message.

The PM also wished "Happy Anniversary!" to the marines and the civilians. "Be that the Holy Virgin Mary, who is the protector of the Romanian marines, protects them and guides them on their way home, to their families and the dear ones!" said Dancila.
