The prime minister, who accompanied his post with a short video of the activity of the HAF said: "A day of pride, a day of honour, a day of emotion for the women and men of our Air Force. For all those who give their best every day and risk their lives for the country. We are grateful."
Ημέρα υπερηφάνειας, ημέρα τιμής, ημέρα συγκίνησης για τις γυναίκες και τους άνδρες της Πολεμικής μας Αεροπορίας. Για όλους εκείνους που καθημερινά δίνουν τον καλύτερό τους εαυτό και διακινδυνεύουν τη ζωή τους για την πατρίδα.
Σας είμαστε ευγνώμονες. 🇬🇷 pic.twitter.com/B6bUEkB3OO
