The parking lot of Playa de los Charcos in Costa Teguise hosted on the morning of this Saturday, November 19, the solemn act of swearing allegiance to the flag for civilian personnel scheduled within the events in the scope of the Canary Islands Command of the Army to allow civilian personnel to swear or re-swear our Flag.
The military ceremony was presided over by the General Chief of the “Canarias” XVI Brigade, Ramón Armada, with the assistance of various military and civilian authorities, such as the Mayor of the municipality of Teguise.
A large number of family members, friends and the general public traveled to the parking lot of Playa de los Charcos to support the swearers who had requested to participate as such in this Flag Swearing ceremony, organized by the Infantry Regiment “Canarias” 50 of the Brigade “Canarias” XVI and with the collaboration of the Teguise City Council.
About 200 swearers, once again committed to Spain, from the different sectors of our society.
The Honor Unit was constituted by a company of the Infantry Regiment “Canarias” 50, a squad of spenders, the Music Unit of the Canary Islands Command and the War Band No. 1 of the Brigade “Canarias” XVI that paid the corresponding honors to the Flags of the Infantry Regiment Canarias 50 and the Infantry Regiment Soria 9 before which the swearers committed themselves.
This event began promptly at 12:00 hours, with the reception of the authority presiding over the event, General Armada, and rendering of the regulatory honors. Once the force in formation was reviewed, the general greeted the civil and military authorities present at the event, as well as the swearers and other attending personnel.
Then the act of swearing allegiance to the flag for civilian personnel would begin, with the taking of oath or promise to the swearers by the Colonel Chief of the Infantry Regiment "Canarias" 50, Gabriel González Segura, after which they passed one by one in front of the national flags belonging to the Infantry Regiment "Canarias" 50 and the Infantry Regiment Soria 9, thus ratifying said oath or promise.
The Colonel Chief of the Regiment made a speech about the oath or promise made and then the act of homage to those who gave their lives for Spain began. After the parade of the Force, the General Chief said goodbye to all the attendees, ending the act. Finally, all personnel who took their oath or promise were given a certificate accrediting it.
