Today, we march together closer than ever before. Our country is yet more united and cohesive as our martyrs raised high the flag of pride and have been, wholeheartedly and dedicatedly, the best example of cohesion between the people and the wise leadership.
By renewing our allegiance to our prudent leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan; his brother His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum; Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces; and their brothers Their Highnesses Rulers of the Emirates, we reiterate that the sacrifices of our valiant martyrs, our sons, give us great pride and honor of the historical stance the UAE has adopted, standing by its brothers in the Arab alliance. This is not new to the UAE, a country that is known to sacrifice everything in defense of truth and principle.
Although we mourn our martyrs, we take great pleasure and pride in their heroism. They presumed the highest level of honor. They gave their lives in defense of truth and their homeland. They sacrificed their blood and souls for their country's message.
Those brave soldiers etched their names into history and found glory, having served the call of duty. They were a model to emulate in the values of belonging, pride, and loyalty, without all of which dignity cannot be achieved.
The UAE moves forward with further determination and persistence on the path of victory and reflects the best values of synergy and solidarity to support the truth and provide relief to brothers.
I offer my sincere condolences, sympathy, and prayers to every parent who raised brave heroes who sacrificed their blood for their homeland. We pray to Almighty Allah to have mercy on their souls.
I urge all UAE nationals, whether intellectuals, scholars, historians, or artists to make every effort to immortalize the country's martyrs through literature, poetry, biographies, textbooks, articles, and drama, and establish the values of loyalty, patriotism, and belonging.
