AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, on Monday bestowed the Order of the State Centennial on a number of military retirees and veterans in appreciation of their dedication and service.

The ceremony, held at JAF headquarters and attended by several Royal family members, is in line with His Majesty’s keenness to honour the role of JAF personnel in service of the nation and its achievements, according to a Royal Court statement.

Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti highlighted military retirees and veterans as role models of dedication and sacrifice in service of the homeland.

Also during the event — attended by Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh, General Intelligence Department Director Maj. Gen. Ahmad Husni, and Public Security Directorate Director Maj. Gen. Hussein Hawatmeh, Huneiti said Royal keenness to follow up on military retirees bolsters national appreciation for their sacrifices.

His Majesty presented the Order of the State Centennial to the honourees and their families.
