 On
this historic day we witness the proud commemoration
of the 60th anniversary of freedom of a great nation.
I say with gratitude that we achieved this dignity and
greatness as the Sri Lankan nation, not only through
the sacrifices of today's heroes, but also due to the
immense sacrifices of our forefathers throughout history.
Let us make this the opportunity to first bow our heads
in salutation to all those who sacrificed their blood
and sweat for the country.
