In the history of nations, there are stations unlike others, and in the conscience of Jordanians, there is a memory unlike any other; it is the memory of fidelity and allegiance, the day when we not only revive a past history but renew a robust covenant inscribed with the ink of hearts and the vigilance of men. Allegiance in Jordan was never merely a symbolic ceremony or a procedural formality but a covenant of mutual trust and a deeply rooted ethical contract, forged by the sacrifices of the Hashemites and built by the awareness of the great Jordanian people. It is the unique relationship where the nation's conscience is blended with the wisdom of the leader, deriving its significance from historical legitimacy and tangible achievements that have positioned Hashemite leadership at the forefront, sharing with Jordanians the bread of patience, the bitterness of challenges, and the sweetness of victory. May God have mercy on His Majesty King Hussein bin Talal, the builder king, may his grave be sanctified; and may God preserve His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein, the enhancing leader and protector of the homeland.
Since His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein assumed the mantle of responsibility, Jordan has embarked on a confident vision that prioritizes "human beings" as our most valuable asset. His Majesty has been - and continues to be - the voice of reason and wisdom in times of silence, a fierce defender of the nation's constants and its just causes, at the forefront of which is the Palestinian issue, carrying the Hashemite custodianship of the holy sites in Jerusalem with unwavering firmness and unbreakable resolve. The stability enjoyed by our country is not the product of coincidence but the result of responsible leadership that believes in building and modernization, and a steadfast nation that sees in its leadership a safety valve and a source of pride. This makes allegiance to the leadership the essence of fidelity to the nation and a protection of its achievements and the future of its generations.
Our message on this glorious anniversary resonates loudly from every Jordanian heart: Here we stand, steady as the "Sheehan" and "Ram" mountains, our compass Hashemite, our identity purely Jordanian. We renew our covenant to put our nation above all else, to maintain Jordan as the "hard number" in the region's equations, and the everlasting beacon behind the banner of the Hashemite family. We raise our heads high with pride, and we resolve anew to follow His Majesty King Abdullah II, to build with one hand and protect with the other, for a strong, safe, and prosperous Jordan, supported by a people who know no compromise in their love for their homeland, led by Hashemites who have carried the banner of truth and legitimacy generation after generation. Fidelity was always a trait of the honorable, and allegiance has always been a trust we carry in our hearts and protect with our lives, so that Jordan remains forever free, dignified, impregnable, and defiant in the face of challenges.
