Pride and Dignity,” as part of a series of activities and events organized by the university in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the victories of the Glorious October War.

In his speech, Dr. Yousry El-Gamal affirmed his pride in participating in the celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of the glorious October victories, which is an opportunity to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their blood for our homeland. He added that it is also an opportunity to restore memories of the 1967 war, then the war of attrition, and the rebuilding of the armed forces until reaching the victory of October 1973, pointing out that his role was in building the Air Defense Force and the missile wall, which had a profound impact on the Egyptian forces’ crossing of the Suez Canal.
Dr. Mohamed Nour El-Din pointed out the importance of the decision to rely on recruiting highly qualified graduates into the armed forces and expanding the use of technology and modern techniques in armament, stressing the role of the war of attrition as a necessary step to achieve the glorious October victory.
Dr. Sherif Qandil pointed out that the main reasons for the October victory were faith, will, education, and intensive training, praising the role of the Air Defense Force in protecting Egypt’s skies during the wars of attrition and the October wars.
Dr. Hisham Saeed expressed his pleasure at celebrating the anniversary of the glorious October War, which shattered the myth of the invincible army, as the Egyptian forces were able to cross the blockade of the Suez Canal and the impregnable Bar Lev Line, which proves that Egypt has a conscious people capable of doing the impossible and an army capable of confronting anyone who dares to harm our dear homeland.
The celebration included honoring the heroes of the armed forces who participated in the War of Attrition and the October Victory, and they were presented with memorial shields of the event.
