The Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development Mr. Gothabhaya Rajapaksha was the chief guest on the occasion.
There are thousands of such brave warriors who have fallen down to rest in the arms of Mother Lanka - this fact should always be kept alive in our hearts and minds because it is they who have secured for us the freedom to live freely by sacrificing their lives.
Brave warriors who fought for the independence, unity, territorial integrity and pride of the nation will be remembered in the hearts of grateful Sri Lankans, forever.
