the pain of loss. Eternal glory to the heroes who fell on the battlefields! We
bow to those who survived, who worked in the rear, bringing this bright day
closer, who carried out the post-war years, raised the country from ruins and ashes!
Thanks to the heroism of our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers, we
