commemorating a slew of key battlefield victories
that shaped the long, rich history of this small archipelago
in the middle of the 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒏.

To evoke the heroic deeds of their forebears,
several people in Malta participated in various 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨,
notably the 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖 🚣🏽‍♂️ in the 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫,

and, just a few rows away,

-Civil, Service Sports Club in 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚,
