Happy Heroes Day

Assalamu'alaykum...

Indonesia has many National days, on October 28 ago Indonesia celebrate Hari Sumpah Pemuda, and now November 10 Indonesia celebrate Hari Pahlawan (in English; Heroes Day). What a GOOD country Indonesia is! Proud to be Indonesian (although I'm a blaster Indonesia-Holland) but my country is Indonesia. 

"Bangsa yang besar adalah bangsa yang menghormati jasa para pahlawannya." - Soekarno

By the way, let's read a lyric from Hero by Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look into your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

 And then the hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face your world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on

There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way 

 
I agree with the lyric. So many the meaning of HERO in this era. Hero not only they who already war to independence of his/hers country but hero is US, youth. We are the next generation to this country. So we should make changes, change to be better! Start new change from ourselves. Remember one of Soekarno's quote: “Perjuanganku lebih mudah karena mengusir penjajah, tapi perjuanganmu akan lebih sulit karena melawan bangsamu sendiri.”

The last, to commemorate our heroes let's Mengheningkan Cipta

Dengan seluruh angkasa raya memuji
Pahlawan negara
Nan gugur remaja diribaan bendera
Bela nusa bangsa

Kau kukenang wahai bunga putra bangsa
Harga jasa
Kau Cahya pelita
Bagi Indonesia merdeka 

Happy Heroes Day!
