If the past few weeks have shown us anything, it is the mettle of the UAE martyrs and the resilience of soldiers who have kept the country well protected during its hour of need.

From those who flew fighter jets, ensuring safe skies, to those who worked on intercepting drones during peak attacks, UAE's brave have given the youth much to look up and aspire too.

Now, this new initiative allows them to express their gratitude and appreciation in creative manners, from art to poetic expression.

The Frontliners Tribute Initiative highlights student contributions from across Abu Dhabi, strengthening social cohesion and national identity in a shared expression of appreciation for those who support the community, explains Abu Dhabi Media Office.
