During the Military Passover, the King, as the Head of the State and captain-general of the Army and the Navy, will distinguish several members of the military staff. After the distinctions, it's time for the speeches in the Hall of the Throne, with the speech of the Minister of Defence and Don Juan Carlos. Finally, the Royal Family offers a reception to the authorities, in Royal Palace.

In his speech, the King had a memory moved for all those "companions" who the last year passed away in the fulfillment of his to have, and who constitute "a faithful example of the deep and generous delivery to the service of Spain, consustancial to the military vocation". In this day of celebration, the King also remembered to the military and Civil Guards who "with proven success" are in missions outside Spain forming part of contingents under mandate of different international organisms, altogether more than 2,000 men and women.

During its speech in the act of celebration of Military Passover, Bond remembered to the 17 military passed away in August in helicopter accident and to the soldiers who fought in the war of Iraq, that, said, "they obeyed and they supported hostile fire in a lamentably so little pacific zone". After wishing to Don Juan Carlos one "long life like King of all", the holder of Defense showed its conviction of which "who in the eagerness to create tensions they tried to compare present Spain with the one of anyone" of the "times of fratricida history", "they would not only be mistaken in his judgment, but which they would be put decidedly outside the reality and of history".

Words of His Majesty the King in the occasion of Military Passover Real Palace of Madrid, 6 of January of 2006

Dear companions,

With special satisfaction I come to preside over, in company of the Queen and Prince of Asturias, this solemn ceremony of Military Passover. Every year I hope with particular joy this occasion to meet with all you who you represent the set of the Armed Forces and the Civil Guard.

I want, in the first place, to pay a moved tribute, with my more affectionate memory, to all those companions who, throughout the last year, have passed away in the fulfillment of his to have. All of them constitute a faithful example of the deep and generous delivery to the service of Spain, consustancial to the military vocation. In this day we want to reiterate of all heart to its relatives our breath, proximity and affection.

Thank you very much, Sir Minister, by its amiable words of congratulation and his detailed to exhibition on the policy of Defense and the situation of our Armed Forces.

Like Supreme Head of the Armed Forces, he consists to me with satisfaction that the adaptation of our Armies to the demands of the Spanish society and to our international commitments has been fast and exemplary, reinforcing at the same time the virtues and values that always have characterized the military Family. Virtues and values that are reflected in the fundamental principles of our Constitution.

Throughout the year that finishes concluding, as much Prince de Asturias as i myself, we have had the pleasing opportunity to attend diverse tactical exercises and to visit numerous military Units. It has allowed us to verify the high discipline and discharge preparation of its components, as well as the progressive modernization of its facilities, material and equipment.

We have been able to state the great human quality and professional preparation of our Armed Forces that have allowed us to advance in the transformation process in which they are immersed, increasing their expeditionary capacity like excellent element of the operation outside of the area of our Nation.

In effect, our Armed Forces and Civil Guard participate, with proven success, in diverse missions outside our borders, forming part of contingents, under mandate of different international organisms, in as different scenes as Haiti, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Afghanistan or Pakistan. Altogether, more than two thousand men and women they today carry the flag of Spain in his uniforms and represent the virtues of our society outside our borders. Also they contribute his professionalism and knowledge to make other needed towns, they contribute to the recovery of his stability, they help the maintenance of La Paz and provide humanitarian aid in places marked by armed conflicts or natural catastrophes.

At the moment, in which they are far from the Mother country and of its families, I want to direct to them to a special greeting with my gratitude and recognition by its effective and generous effort. Desire, also, to emphasize the total availability and demonstrated to effectiveness of our Armed Forces and Civil Guard to support to the different Institutions and Administrations, whenever the circumstances therefore require it, taking part to preserve the security of all our citizens, always giving example of its sense of the responsibility, discharge preparation and discipline.

On the aptitude, knowledge, experience and motivation of the men and women who comprise of the Armed Forces and the Civil Guard, as well as of the suitable material dowry of the different Units, depend the most effective fulfillment of the allotted missions. Missions that, often, demand important personal sacrifices and also familiar that we must emphasize and value. Of there, the importance permanently of guarding by the best preparation and endorsement to the components of the different Units.

I have followed, for that reason, with special attention and interest the set of the improvements in march, as much in the conditions of life like in the projection of Race of the military Family, that register within the framework of a effort in which we must continue perseverando. When initiating this new year I want to declare, once again, our deeper and respectful tribute to all the victims of abominable and unacceptable sinrazón terrorist, and to reiterate our total endorsement, solidarity and affection to its families.

In order to end the terrorism, we apply all the instruments of the State of Right, Justice, the Forces and Bodies of Security and of the international cooperation. Permitidme, finally, that remembers two recent anniversaries that, for me, has had a special importance. By chronological order, I talk about in the first place to the 50 years of my enroll in the different Academies. With such reason, I could next to my companions remember the values and principles that inspire the Military specialty, and that we assumed like Cadets.

With their deep love to Spain, with their spirit of sacrifice, loyalty to our constitutional frame and respect to our symbols and traditions, the Armed Forces and the Civil Guard are an example for all. Secondly, when being fulfilled the Thirtieth Anniversary of my proclamation as King I emphasized the tribute that deserves the Spanish town by its responsibility, generosity, sacrifices and by his continued effort in the construction of the Spain of today.

Those virtues, the height of sights and the shaped spirit of reconciliation, concord, consensus and overcoming in our Constitution, the respect to their rules, values and principles, have allowed us to make of Spain a democratic Nation, united, more and more modern, right and shared in common, totally incorporated to the place that corresponds to him in the international concert. To work day to day by a better country is the goal and illusion that the great majority of Spaniards we shared. Like that immense majority, I take to Spain in the heart, to whole Spain, in its rich diversity and plurality, with his varied earth, traditions and virtues. They fill of pride its successes and their advances to me.

I have faith in the future of Spain, in much that united we can continue advancing. As I said recently, no effort exceeds when it is about Spain and the Spaniards. This he is the spirit who animates Corona. For that reason, in the occasion of Military Passover, it wants to reiterate my firmer commitment and deep vocation on watch, my eagerness to promote whichever unites to us, to combine efforts in that direction, from the love to Spain, loyalty and the respect to our Constitution.

In order to conclude, I want to express my affection, recognition and congratulation to all and each one of you, to the set of the great military Family, to your relatives and close friends, manifestaros my sincere gratitude by your continuous samples of loyalty, and pediros that you continue working with the deep pride, the permanent delivery and the immense illusion that lock up the love to the Mother country and the will on watch to Spain.
