-

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has said that Commemoration Day is a day of glory and pride for the United Arab Emirates.

"On this day, the UAE’s values of loyalty, belonging and love of the homeland are celebrated nationwide," he said, adding that the sons and daughters of the UAE stand together with a great sense of pride as they solemnly commemorate the memory and ultimate sacrifices of our martyrs.

His Highness said, "Our martyrs gave up their lives for the sake of our nation, so that our flag keeps fluttering high in the skies of freedom. Indeed, no one is able to offer such an example as the selfless and ultimate giving of our martyrs, for they gave up their very own lives to keep us safe."

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed said, in a statement marking the occasion, "Great nations are built with the bare hands of their sons and daughters, with their steadfastness, with their unconditional love and with their sacrifices. There is no greater sacrifice than giving one’s own life in the service of his or her own country; it’s this great sacrifice that we are solemnly and proudly commemorating on this day. The more the people are willing to sacrifice their own lives for their own nation, the stronger and more prosperous it becomes."

"We, in the UAE, under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, are proud of our sons and daughters who offered unparalleled examples of giving and sacrifice. They did not hesitate to risk their lives above and beyond the call of duty, thus, they authored, with their very own blood, epics that depicted their courage and steadfastness in the battlefield of glory and honour. With such heroic actions, they reflected the real picture of the people of the UAE, who, throughout history, stood courageously in the defence of our homeland against threats to its integrity and unity."
