It represents the present time, our pride to participate in multinational exercise and international missions, ceremonies and military parades. It represents our future, the future of the people who swear their loyalty to this land and will protect it to their last breath. Those three colors portray our faith, dignity and essence. Those are the colors we think of when shouting - For Moldova, for Honor, for Tricolor!"
