Auto-translation of caption: We stand here today, thanking and apologizing to our heroic brothers and sisters, those who did not return home. Our hearts are proud of them, and aching for them at the same time.

Thank you also to those who returned, but they will never be the same person again.

A soul that bore the brunt of battle, and eyes that saw things that will never be forgotten.

Thank you for the privilege of fighting the most just war there is, the war for home.

For our land, for our families, for the simple right to be a free people in their own land.

May we remain united, in love, in faith, and in the strength that our people reveal precisely in moments when the heart is tested.

really.

And never, but never will we forget: the enemy is cruel, and his goal is one, to destroy us from our land. But we cannot be destroyed. As long as we remain one people, one heart, and one hope.
