Though they passed away so young with a high ambition in their minds, the indomitable mettle and revolutionary spirit of the martyrs, who wrote a new chapter of victory in the history of our state at the cost of their blood and kindled the fierce flames of all-people heroism across the country, will remain etched in the minds of all our people.
