A
ceremony to confer honorary medals and posthumous titles to officers and other
ranks was held at the Zeyarthiri Beikman in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday afternoon.
At
the ceremony, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung
Hlaing said that the Tatmataw has been performing its duty to defend the
independence and sovereignty of the country at all times, under any government
or political system with loyalty to the people and the country and warned
members of the defence services to make correct decisions in accordance with
the time and situation to avoid unnecessary losses.
In
addition, the senior general said that the Tatmataw has been trying to solve
armed conflicts through peaceful means rather than relying on military means
and as wars lead to losses of lives of members of the defence services, the
Tatmadaw has always been desirous of peace by actively participating in the
peace process.
At
the ceremony, the senior general presented gallantry awards to a colonel, four
lieutenant colonels, eight majors, sixteen captains, three lieutenants, seven
warrant officers-2, one company sergeant, six sergeants, eight corporals,
eighteen lance corporals and three privates. Gallantry certificates of the
Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services were awarded to one lieutenant colonel,
six majors, three captains, two warrant officers-2, one sergeant, one corporal
and two lance corporals. Certificates of honour of the commander-in-chief of
defence services went to two major-generals, four colonels, one lieutenant
colonel, six majors, eight captains, three warrant officers, one company
sergeant, five sergeants, one corporal and four privates.
After
the ceremony, the senior general posed for documentary photos with award and
certificate winners and their families.
A
total of 21 female personnel were presented with gallantry awards and certificates
this year. The remaining awards will be presented to winners at regional
commands
