Romanian veterans who fought in the Second World War will each receive, in the following days, a gift with traditional products, as well as a tricolor flag, in an action that symbolically began, on Monday, in the Union Hall in central Alba Iulia, in the presence of the Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Daniel Petrescu.
At the ceremony, he indeed offered the first package to veteran Laurean Deac, now 99 years old, one of the 2,610 veterans still alive.
Laurean Deac recalled that he was incorporated on April 1, 1943, and after fighting on the Front in Russia, he became a prisoner in Asia Minor, from where he was released only in 1948.
