Brig-Gen Naivalurua told the officers in Fijian that the medal they had was significant and it was a testament of their commitment, dedication and loyalty to the organisation.
“Wear your medal with pride and honour.”
“Fiji thanks you, the Government thanks you, the organisation thanks you, your family thanks you and I as your leader thank you.”

He urged them to continue and maintain their excellent service.
“We have a noble and honourable profession because our work looks after lives and trying to bring those lives back to God,” Brig-Gen Naivalurua said.
He said the next few years would be challenging but he intended to bring changes to the organisation because theirs was a Service that dealt with human beings and human lives.
Brig-Gen Naivalurua revealed that the yellow ribbon they were wearing would now be part of their uniform to “capture the spirit of the Yellow Ribbon and involve everyone and our families so as to keep the spirit alive.”
