The Department for Specialized Training and Canine Services of the State Customs Service (Department) joined in holding a minute of silence. In doing so, a nationwide minute of silence will be held daily at 9:00 a.m at the Department to remember and honour everyone who gave their lives because of terror unleashed by the occupiers on our land. Militaries and civilians. Adults and children. Everyone who could still live if the worst enemy had not started this terrible war.
