Imam Khamenei meets Disabled War Veterans

In a meeting with disabled war veterans of the Sacred Defense Era and their families, Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution described disabled war veterans as symbols of self-sacrifice.

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution expressed his respect for martyrs of the Sacred Defense Era and reiterated that self-sacrifice of war veterans is in a sense more valuable than martyrdom because they have to face constant sufferings and problems which require piety and patience. He added that because of these problems, God will reward disabled war veterans more.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that giving up a lifetime of health and welfare for the sake of Islam and the Revolution is a very lucrative deal with God and that one cannot understand and describe the constant and long-lasting patience of the families of disabled war veterans.

His Eminence added that respecting war veterans is necessary and that it manifests the genuine meaning of self-sacrifice in society.
His Eminence reiterated that God has promised in the Holy Quran to reward disabled war veterans for every moment of their patience.

The meeting was held on the occasion of Sacred Defense Week to mark the eight-year war which was imposed on Iran by the Iraqi regime in 1980.
