Vlčí mák České republiky mezi symboly spojenců NATO! 🌺
Česká republika je součástí vizuálního průvodce vzpomínkových květin @NATO. Tento rok jsme poprvé představili Vlčí mák České republiky a naše kampaň s mottem "Vzdáleni v čase, spojeni odvahou" pro válečné veterány rezonuje nejen doma, ale i mezi našimi spojenci.
Nošením vlčího máku potvrzujeme náš závazek ctít ty, kteří za nás obětovali či jsou připraveni obětovat vše. Česká republika se tak stala součástí této významné tradice a dnes stojíme hrdě mezi ostatními spojenci.
