Our armed forces and security personnel stood firm, protecting our skies and our borders with courage and discipline. Their readiness and sacrifice deserve our respect and gratitude. We also pause to remember the lives lost from our Armed Forces. Two brave servicemen paid the highest price during this time of tension. They were sons, brothers, and proud defenders of our homeland. They stood in duty to protect Kuwait and its people. We pray for mercy upon them and strength for their families and fellow soldiers.

Their sacrifice reminds us that peace is not just a political word but a human need worth protecting. Kuwait has always believed in dialogue and cooperation. Our history shows that we choose wisdom over anger and unity over division. We are a nation that has experienced hardship before, and each time we have risen stronger because we stood together. No outside pressure can break a people who support one another and trust in their country. This is a time to hold on to what connects us. It is a time to support our security forces, to check on our neighbors, and to speak words that bring comfort instead of fear. We defend our homeland not only with systems and preparedness, but with unity, patience, and faith.

Kuwait stands united today with strength and confidence, firm in defending our safety, our dignity, and our sovereignty. Our message is steady and clear. We stand ready to protect our land and our people. Together, as one nation, we will safeguard our home with resolve and honor, determined to secure a future of safety and lasting peace for our region.
