those who served and risked their lives in operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
In
his toast the Ambassador emphasized that "Hungary was and still is a
close ally of the United States in the war on terror. The sacrifices you
have personally made were for, no doubt, a good and noble cause. We freed
two countries and now trying to put them on track to manage their own life
in the future."
