Ladies and Gentlemen,
\n\u00a0
\nThe \u201cAtlantiku\u201d battalion is the most representative synthesis of the cyclical circle or the four phases of Albanian-American relations with the homeland and the United States of America.
\n\u00a0
\nYour ancestors, and you as well, went to the United States of America. To the great homeland of freedom and democracy. <\/p>\n
The Albanians of America have played an extraordinary and historic role in affirming the Kosovo issue. <\/p>\n
During the most difficult moments for Kosovo, your reaction was completely natural because you knew the deep meaning of FREEDOM.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0The \u201cAtlantiku\u201d battalion is the clearest indicator of the political and military history of Albanians, so you responded the best to the call \u201cthe Homeland at Risk, the Birthplace Calls\u201d.
\n\u00a0
\nYou, from the ultimate welfare, came to war. You are the BATTLE and the FRONT of the liberation war. <\/p>\n
In the framework of the \u201cAtlantiku\u201d battalion you directly fought the invading Serbian military forces. You completed your mission for the homeland with your heads held high.
\n\u00a0
\nYou came as volunteers, became extraordinary fighters, but above all, became the victors of the war for the liberation of Kosovo.
\n\u00a0
\nBy defeating the Serbian forces, along with NATO\u2019s assistance, you accomplished the highest national, patriotic and political mission.
\n\u00a0
\nYou made the dream of all generations a reality. You entered into Kosovo with the air of freedom.
\n\u00a0
\nAnd, at the end of the fourth phase, after giving meaning to freedom, through war and sacrifice you returned to the United States of America, to your families, to your profession, work and business.<\/p>\n
Like warriors you put on the uniforms and took the weapons in your hand in the war for freedom. After the victory, you took off your uniform and returned to life
\n\u00a0
\nThis is what people do when having a philosophical dimension of freedom.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nLadies and gentlemen,
\n\u00a0
\nKosovo is entering the 20th Anniversary of liberation. The more time passes, the value of the liberation war will increase even more<\/p>\n
Your children and the children of your children will be proud of you, because you didn\u2019t allow Kosovo\u2019s servitude to continue endlessly.
\n\u00a0
\n2019 has been declared the year of NATO in Kosovo. We are eternally grateful to the United States of America, NATO and the EU states for what they did for the freedom, independence and establishment of Kosovo.
\n\u00a0
\nWe are eternally grateful and will bow down with respect before the brothers Byty\u00e7i, the heroes of the \u201cAtlantiku\u201d battalion, the heroes of Kosovo.
\n\u00a0
\nWe wish you a peaceful life and endless happiness with your families
\n\u00a0
\nYou have been and will remain the pride of the nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
