Soldiers of the 22nd Georgian battalion were awarded for their exemplary deeds at the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan yesterday.

They were personally thanked by Senior Representative of Georgian Military Forces to Afghanistan Malkhaz Merlani and were given gifts.

Junior Sergeant Merab Iremadze found a wallet with a large amount of money and documents inside, and handed it over to base administration. Afterwards the items were returned to their owner.

Several days later Corporal Badri Putkaradze found a wallet with 1,200 USD in it. Corporal Specialist Zviad Kadaria and Sergeant  Irakli Tabatadze also found a large amount of money and other personal items.

The military servicemen informed the military police without delay and the lost money and items were handed over to their owners.

The Georgian peacekeepers were officially thanked for their exemplary deeds.

A similar event  also took place several weeks ago in the Resolute Support mission staff.
