As King Abdullah strolls with unmistakable dignity into the Royal Palace in Riyadh, the long line of citizens eager to greet him are gently asked to just shake his hands. At the center of the majlis he listens to a few words from citizens who have come from different parts of the country.
Their message is short but clear: "We stand behind you and so does every citizen in this vast land." He answers them by recounting just what their fathers and grand fathers have sacrificed in order to build the Kingdom.
King Abdulaziz, his father and the founder of modern day Saudi Arabia valued their sacrifices, and thanks to them we have a solid and strong country.
