Best homage to war heroes is to safeguard unity - President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The best tribute we can pay to the war heroes is to safeguard the undivided nation they achieved with great sacrifices, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa. “The freedom has been brought to the country through the sacrifice of thousands of lives of war heroes. Therefore, we should protect that freedom, without betraying it,” he said. The President was addressing the gathering of the Victory Day celebrations held in Matara this morning (May 18) “It is easier to take decisions when peace and understanding between the communities increase. Solution without peace is temporary. As such some people are trying to wrest this peace,” he said. “If you respect those war heroes, you must protect the peace won by them with the sacrifice of thousands of lives.” “Remember, they departed to save an undivided nation. They bid farewell to their lives to build a nation where people will live together. Let us determine to live in our Motherland without betraying the freedom won by our war heroes with sacrifices of their eyes, heads, flesh and blood as well as their lives,” President said.
