CHISINAU, June 4, 2013 — The staff of Decebal Air Base from Marculesti marked 21st anniversary within a ceremony that brought together unit former commanders, army and war veterans.

Col. Vadim Cemirtan, Commander of Air Force Command, congratulated military and civilian personnel of the unit on the anniversary and awarded them medals and diplomas on behalf of the National Army leadership.

Col.
