UAE pays tribute to martyrs on Commemoration Day

The Commemoration day is observed annually by the UAE in remembrance and appreciation of the nation’s martyrs who sacrificed their lives while performing their duties towards their homeland inside and outside the country and in all fields to keep the UAE flag flying high.

 

The UAE Pro League participates in this occasion and precious day, in appreciation of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sake of God and their homeland, and in commemoration and appreciation of the sacrifices and generosity of the nation’s martyrs and its righteous sons, who lost their lives to keep the UAE flag flying high and illuminate the way ahead for the next generations as they embodied the noblest values and meanings, reflecting the Emiratis belonging to their homeland and the principles that were passed from one generation to the next, as they represented a vivid example of patriotism and honesty, and the Commemoration Day will remain a source of great inspiration and pride for the UAE people, who have proven their belonging to their country, while rallying around their leadership.

 

The Commemoration Day is a dear memory for the nation, since it was announced by the UAE in 2015 based on a decree issued by the President of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. It represents an opportunity to pay tribute to the martyrs and express the true interconnectedness between the homeland, the leadership and the people.

 

The Commemoration Day coincides with the martyrdom of Salem Suhail bin Khamis, the first Emirati soldier to die in the line of duty. He was responsible for maintaining order and security on the island of Greater Tunb and proved courageous when he refused to lower his national flag when confronted by Iranian forces to lose his life on November 30th, 1971.

 

This day represents a message of appreciation to the nation’s protectors, the brave soldiers of the UAE, who embodied true patriotism through this sacrifice, which was engraved in the memory of the nation’s citizens and residents and will be passed down through generations.
