Defence industry body sets up fund for families of soldiers killed or injured overseas

Meanwhile, the country’s Defence and Security Industry Association has set up a new organisation to support the families of soldiers killed or injured while serving in the Czech army overseas. The We Support our Soldiers foundation will focus on providing study grants to the children of such soldiers. Lieutenant General Picek said he welcomed the establishment of the foundation, but pointed out that the army itself is legally bound to provide assistance to the families of troops who die or are injured.
