Just a breath away from Turkey and Adrianople, high and eastward on the Evros, conscript soldier from Larissa, Alexandros Karamitsios and Second Lieutenant Athanasios Vergos, while on duty, wished “Happy New Year” to their families and all of us. “I feel proud and moved even though I am far from my loved ones,” the soldier said.
The Second Lieutenant added that “everyone can celebrate safely as the Armed Forces are at the borders sleepless, with high morale and absolute devotion to the homeland and duty.”
“The change of year reminds us that duty has no schedule. Our presence ensures peace of mind for our fellow citizens,” the uniformed officer said, while cameraman Giorgos Dimopoulos’ camera showed the proximity of outpost 5 of Orestiada to Turkey.
