A ceremony, in the context of the “We Are Proud” activity, took place on Friday 07 December 2018 at the premises of the Hellenic Army General Staff, where the Chief of HAGS, Lieutenant General Alkiviadis Stefanis awarded the following NCOs:
- Infantry Staff Sergeant (Professional Soldier) Grigorios Samaras, who helped a citizen evacuate his burning apartment thus rescuing him, on 15 September 2018 in Naousa, with incomparable courage and risking his life, demonstrating the spirit of self-sacrifice and altruism.
- Armour Sergeant (Professional Soldier) Ioannis Hatzimagioglou, who has participated in various body building competitions, from 2012 onwards, achieving significant distinctions.
The deeds of our two NCOs constitute an excellent paradigm to be copied for all of our personnel, while they promote, in the best possible way, the Army and the Armed Forces in general.
