“On this day, January 6, 2026, we mark the Iraqi Army Day—a moment of honor to remember the sacrifices of our heroes on the frontlines, our hawks in the sky, and our lions across all military branches.

You are not merely a military institution; you are the symbol of our national unity, where all the colors of the Iraqi spectrum unite to form a portrait of victory and resilience. Thank you for every drop of sweat shed for our security, and thank you to every eye that stayed awake so we may sleep in peace.

Happy Iraqi Army Day to all our officers and ranks. May the Iraqi military establishment continue to thrive and prosper. May God protect Iraq—its land, its army, and its people.”
