August 17th is a day where all the Indonesian people rejoice to recall the merits of the heroes who have gained independence for all of us. I can’t believe that time flies so fast and our country is growing fast too every year.
We are all lucky to be assembled today because of the merits of the heroes who have defended our country since decades ago. Do you still remember the names of the heroes who helped to release Indonesia from colonialism?

Do you know who Bung Karno is? Bung Karno is the first president of Indonesia. Bung Karno is the important figure in the struggle of the Indonesian people to achieve independency. He was the Proclaimer of Indonesian Independence (together with Mohammad Hatta), which occurred on 17 August 1945.
Soekarno was also the first person to introduce the concept of Pancasila as the foundation of the Indonesia, and he was the one who named it. Of course Bung Karno assisted by his Indonesian fellows.
They were trying hard to release Indonesia from the colonization. The independence of our country can never be obtained only by being lazy all the time. Indonesian independency cannot be realized by only relying on one or two people. Indonesian independency was achieved with the hard work.
Indonesian independency happened because of the unity of all Indonesian people all over the country.
Sir, Madam, and my dear friends,
Remembering how the efforts of our heroes to fight for our independency, it is right for us to appreciate the Independence Day by doing something positive with the spirit of nationalism so that we can contribute something to celebrate the Independence Day.
