Among our many partnerships, The Military Veterans and Veterans with Disabilities Association “The Holy Great Martyr Demetrios - the Myrrh-gusher” („Sfântul Mare Mucenic Dimitrie - Izvorâtorul de Mir’’) (AMVVD) holds a special place, as its goals are most noble: to protect those who protected us with their very lives - the brave men and women of our home countries armed forces: Romania’s heroic veterans.

Romania joined the likes of Australia, Canada, The United States of America, and other European countries in 2014, with the ratification of law number 150/2014, concerning the modification and completion of emergency ordinance number 82/2006, regarding recognizing the merits of army personnel who participated in military actions and granting certain rights to them and their descendants.

With courage and honor in the defense of one’s own country, comes respect, and we here at Restart Energy not only praise such selfless service but also wish to reward it. As such, Restart Energy has extended to all veterans registered with AMVVD a special offer:

We will pay the insurance costs for all electric house appliances in a veteran’s home when they purchase one of our standard 2-year-long energy & gas supply packages. Furthermore, we will offer a fixed price for the entire duration of said package and even give AMVVD veterans a whole month of free electricity (50% in the first month and 50% in the 15th month).

Honor begets respect.

AMVVD Fighting for the Construction of a Veterans Recovery Center

For some years now, the Military Veterans and Veterans with Disabilities Association AMVVD has been pursuing a fundraising campaign with the goal of building Romania’s first Veterans Recovery Center, in the city of Târgoviște; it would also be the first of its kind in Eastern Europe. This hospital will be dedicated to helping military veterans that have suffered permanent injury, either physically or mentally, while on duty, serving in various theaters of operations.

To help our partner and their honorable cause, Restart Energy has offered monetary aid or aid in the form of construction materials, once the Veterans Recovery Center project has started.

Restart Energy Alongside Romania’s Heroes

Each year, on the 11th of November, Veterans Day is celebrated in Romania, to honor the hardships endured and sacrifices made by our veterans. It is a day of solemn remembrance, religious services, and dignified military parades, in both the capital Bucharest, as well as all garrisons with military units that took part in active duty in the name of the motherland and its allies.

At the National Children’s Palace, in Bucharest, Restart Energy attended the charity play “Soul of a Hero”, as an AMVVD partner. There we had the opportunity to award two heroes with free energy for an entire year.

The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the music delighted the veterans present. Performances were given by Dan Helciug, Tatiana Mayer, Purdea Ovidiu Someș, Florin Vasilică, the children’s choir of the Bucharest National Opera (conductor: Smaranda Morgovan Cristescu); as well as other artists which lifted the spirits of the people present at the event.

The following day, solemn yet spiritual moments were felt by all present as AMVVD laid down a funeral wreath made of flowers and held a moment of silence for the veterans that died in the fight for the nation’s freedom. The event took place at the Monument of Fallen Heroes in Theaters of Operations (MECTO), in the capital’s Youth’s Park. All 16 AMVVD branches from across the country held similar events - placing funeral wreaths next to local military monuments and taking interviews.
