Our brave soldiers constantly live on the edge. They are our Heroes, fighting wars, against enemies and terror…, in extreme conditions, against unknown enemies… constantly conquering their inner fears to discharge their duties because nothing is more important to them than their commitment to their nation and our freedom.
MKU feels proud to be in a position to provide and extend a safety blanket to the families of these brave soldiers because when these soldiers are protected, their families feel secure.
