Terrorism was a bane for the country for thirty years. It had a serious impact on civilian life as well as on the national economy. It was through the dedication of the heroic soldiers that terrorism which was fast spreading like a pestilence was obliterated enthroning enduring peace in the motherland.
If not the blood thirsty monsters would have still been causing carnage and destruction to public property
Four soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country in a tiger terrorists attack in Vavuniya on 16th June 1991. Again on the same day in the year 1994, the terrorists lying in ambush mooted an attack on a group of war heroes in the Kantale area killing three war heroes. On the same day, three soldiers were killed in a terrorist ambush in the Kebethigollewa area. Mankulam was the next target of the terrorists.
Launching an attack on June 16th 1998, the terrorists grabbed away the lives of three war heroes. The ruthless tiger terrorists launched two attacks in the Pulleyar-adi and Mankulam areas on June 16th 2001, taking away valuable lives of five war heroes. On 16th June 2008, 12 war heroes made supreme sacrifices on behalf of the unity of the motherland following a suicide bomb attack by the terrorists in the Nagar area in Vavuniya.
Terrorism which battered the country in this manner for 30 years was pulverized on 18th May 2009. By then, 40 war heroes had offered their lives on behalf of the unity of the motherland on 16th June throughout the dark era.
The members of the Security Forces who had the wherewithal to meet any eventuality, advanced in the humanitarian operations under the vibrant and dynamic leadership of President Rajapaksa and the prudent guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa vanquished terrorism and brought enduring peace to the motherland, making supreme sacrifices. This victory was achieved with much dedication.
Many members of the Security Forces sacrificed their lives as well as eyes, heads, hands and limbs in their brave attempts to enthrone freedom in the motherland. They are really eternal heroes after eliminating the LTTE war machinery. Although certain local as well as extraneous forces operative against the country cannot see the genuine bravery of these war heroes, the entire nation is eternally indebted to these war heroes who brought freedom to the motherland.
It is the bravery and courage of the war heroes who made supreme sacrifices that are being recounted in these episodes. Action has been taken to display the photographs of the war heroes who made supreme sacrifices in the battle to rout terrorism and discharge a noble service as an honour to the sacrifices they have made.
