His Majesty King Abdullah, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, accompanied by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, on Sunday visited the Martyr’s Memorial, in remembrance of martyrs’ sacrifices to the nation as it marks its centennial.

Upon arrival at the venue, King Abdullah was welcomed by a 21-gun salute and was received by senior officials and officers.

His Majesty laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and recited verses from the Holy Quran.

The King also bestowed the Order of the State Centennial on the nation’s martyrs, in appreciation of their sacrifices.
