Year-End Address of Gratitude

Dear Esteemed Ladies and Gentlemen,

As we approach the end of 2025, I would like to express my sincere pride and appreciation for the active and dedicated work of the community of the Vitézi Rend. This year has once again demonstrated that through unity, perseverance, and respect for our traditions, we are capable of achieving outstanding results.

We can look back on a highly successful and memorable investiture ceremony, and we have initiated the reinstatement of two memorial plaques as well as the erection of a new memorial, all of which will take place in 2026. It is a particular source of pride for me that we have succeeded in acquiring an authentic replica of the Holy Crown of Hungary — a significant milestone and an outstanding professional and community achievement.

I am also grateful that we were able to represent the Order with dignity at several prestigious events, and that the official website of the Vitézi Rend — thanks to the devoted work of Vitéz Balázs Róbert, Sergeant — has, over the past year, enjoyed steadily growing international recognition and interest:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to all those who have contributed to the work of the Order — with their time, knowledge, participation, or support. Every single contribution has strengthened our community and our traditions.

I trust that 2026 will begin with similar momentum and determination, and that you will all continue to play an important role in achieving our shared goals. There will be many tasks ahead of us, but together we have already proven that we are worthy of continuing the legacy of our predecessors.

With respect and appreciation,

V. Babenyecz Attila
