Army Commander General Joseph Aoun celebrated mothers on their day through the "X" platform, writing: "Your holiday is a celebration of love, life, and the sacrifices that unite us. Salutations to every mother who endures life's hardships. Salutations to every mother who taught her children to love their country and dedicated them to its service. Salutations to every mother who has given a martyr and holds her head high with pride in him. Salutations to every military mother who sacrifices for her institution and her family. Your heart is with me, and my heart is with the nation."
