Sultan sends a personal salute to the leaders of the UAE

From space, I salute earth.  I salute our homeland and its leaders. I salute all those who carried Zayed’s Ambition in their hearts and aim high to the sky. The dream has come true and now we dream bigger. 

The public are responding and they’re full of praise

That is truly amazing…. so beautiful and you must have so many “goose bump” moments after all the training you went through. How absolutely brilliant.
