' Eternal glory to the people's heroes who laid down their lives in the War of Liberation in the past three years and the people's revolution in the past three
decades! Eternal glory to the people's heroes who laid down their lives in the struggles against foreign and domestic enemies, for national independence and
for the people's freedom and happiness from 1840 onward !'
