Awards
);
Three Defence Forces members from Kildare were recognised as Defence Forces Values Champions in a ceremony presided by Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Mark Mellett DSM, in Baldonnel recently.
RSM Philip Hayden, Comdt Michael Cullen and Sgt Paul Halpin were all honoured at the national awards.
Speaking at the event, Vice Admiral Mellett said; We have continued to build on our values as we strive for our vision to ‘Strengthen the Nation by inspiring pride and leading excellence’. Our values of moral courage and physical courage, respect, integrity, loyalty and selflessness serve as a framework for all our professional decision making and actions, but also for everyday life - and that is only right because our values have equal application when we hang up our uniform at the end of the day.
