His Excellency Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi said: “This site is a national treasure. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come as a nation. Together we stand in unity, unison and with the utmost respect for our fallen heroes. Their sacrifice and memory should never be forgotten. Their sacrifice should be our driving force. Their sacrifice should be the fuel that inspires us as a nation. Let’s do them proud and always aim higher, work harder and reach for better.”
