Cibinong, Geospatial News - Every November 10, the Indonesian Nation always commemorates Heroes' Day. From schoolchildren to office employees, without exception, they warn in a variety of ways.
However, the way to show the spirit of heroism is certainly different in the current struggle. In the past, the spirit of heroism was demonstrated through the sacrifice of energy, wealth, and even life. Now, to be a hero can be done by carving achievements in various fields of life.
"Anyone can become a hero by carrying out concrete actions to strengthen the integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia, such as helping others affected by disaster, not provoking that can disturb public order, not spreading hoax news, not committing anarchist acts or harming others, and so on, "said the Deputy of the Thematic Geospatial Information Section of the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) Antonius Bambang Wijanarto during the Heroes' Day commemoration ceremony on BIG field, Monday, November 11, 2019.
According to Anton, the Heroes' Day memorial service is held every year to remind all Indonesian citizens of the November 10, 1945 battle in Surabaya. In this battle, all the people unite, fight, never give up against the invaders.
"The Battle of November 10 reminds us that the independence we feel today does not come just like that. It takes extraordinary struggle and sacrifice from the country's predecessors. The spirit shown by the heroes and fighters needs to be continuously developed in the hearts of all Indonesian citizens, "stressed Anton.
With the Heroes' Day memorial service, BIG big families are expected to be able to better appreciate the services and sacrifices of the heroes. As Bung Karno said, ".... only a nation that appreciates the services of its heroes can be a great nation ...". (TN / NIN)
