“I thank FRONASA/UPDF for liberating the country. UPDF is now a new family that gathers all tribes and I pray it continues,” remarked the President. He added that God is everywhere and there is a force above us that makes us do things, noting that the allegiance to God is what made the revolution succeed.

President Museveni encouraged today’s troops to serve beyond self and attach little attention to pay and welfare, noting that past armies worked for almost nothing, but they succeeded in the struggle.

He, therefore, encouraged them to utilize the available income generating activities like the formation of Saccos, enrollment of soldier’s children in army schools to get free education; to improve their quality of life and welfare.“ Involve free education for soldier’s biological children,” President Museveni told soldiers.

He concluded by noting that God has been behind the success of FRONASA /UPDF in the social and economic transformation of the country.

The Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs, Hon Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempijja, thanked comrades for their commitment towards making the breakfast occasion a success right from its inception to the launches and commissioning of our symbolic projects at regional and district levels in greater Mbarara region where the 42nd  Tarehe Sita celebrations were successfully hosted.“

This year’s thanksgiving is in honour of our founding FRONASA Military Veterans led by non-other than you, your Excellency the President and your nucleus team of the “28+1” as we commonly refer to them,” noted Hon Ssempijja.

Hon. Ssempijja said that their daring sacrifice was a springboard to the liberation struggle and revolution that finally ushered in the peace and social-economic transformation that we are witnessing in our country today.

He further promised FRONASA veterans that the Ministry is domiciling both their welfare and their families as earlier guided by the President.

Hon. Ssempijja also urged soldiers to embrace government projects like Parish Development Model, Women Fund, Youth Livelihood and Emyooga for the children/youth; among others.

Speaking at the same function, the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs, thanked the FRONASA family for accepting today’s invitation.

She said that the thanksgiving breakfast is the apex of the annual Tarehe Sita anniversary.“

It is a platform that showcases landmark achievements of the UPDF in the delivery of peace, security and economic transformation throughout the country anchored in a strong partnership with God and the people of Uganda,” she noted.

She added that this year’s celebrations are a distinguished service to our FRONASA veterans, who laid the foundation for the liberation struggle and put their lives on the line for the security, peace and prosperity of our country, with the President at the helm of it.

The Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Wilson Mbadi, noted that what began as an impossible mission is now a call to reality because it has achieved a lot through both effort and faith. “UPDF will always be thankful to the Lord for its success since life without thanking is devoid of love,” he said.

According to Gen Mbadi, every year UPDF forces on a special category like today’s FRONASA family which remains an embodiment of true sacrifice,  intensive mobilization without pain, patriotism, charisma, velocity and steadfastness.“

No wonder UPDF was born from the above factory,” said Gen Mbadi. Gen Mbadi remarked that FRONASA/UPDF is a candle for the whole house to see since it is built on past sacrifice and professionalism. He urged troops to maintain capacity and capability to ensure an efficient, effective, and professional force. “A soldier with morale increases his efficiency and his effectiveness,” Gen Mbadi concluded.
