To Commemorate the Greatness and Heroism of Our Filipino Fighters.
Courageous, fearless, and perhaps a little daring, we all live at many crossroads, fear and valor being one of them, and when we choose valor, we build ourselves even stronger, making the choice all the easier each time. This is how we become brave, into those whose legends are told and retold. A hero who has dedicated his or her life to something greater than himself or herself. A nation at work, a supportive community. Never forget and always remember.
The siege of Bataan was the United States' first major land battle of World War II, and it was one of the most devastating military defeats in American history. The Bataan Death March was the culmination of a long battle against an invading force, and it was a bloody indicator of the Imperial Japanese Forces' brutality in occupying the Philippines. After a long battle with little food and water, the captured American and Filipino soldiers were in poor health. They overcame enormous obstacles and endured hunger and thirst. Following the fall of Bataan, they marched for several hundred kilometers. We can all see how much they suffer, almost to the point of death, but they use their aggression for a noble cause; they ensure that the brave and empathic version leads them to victory.
With this year's theme "Kagitingan ay Gawing Gabay, Pandemya ay Mapagtatagumpayan," this week-long observance of the Day of Valor was truly a grateful and meaningful time to acknowledge and promote the deeds of Filipino War veterans, not only those who sacrificed their lives, but also those who rendered honorable military service in defending our country to its limits, but it also serves as a reminder that through sheer and determination, our Filipino veterans Despite all of the challenges, sufferings, pain, and trials of defeat, our captured soldiers defended and protected our country from the confined freedom. When we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest form of appreciation is not to say words but to live by them. May this year's national commemoration be solemn and meaningful. Our veterans must be remembered! Filipinos' bravery should be celebrated!

Hi there! I like your post on how our countrymen fought in war, just to commit independence. You really expounded the history on the way our countrymen did their very best in order to fulfill their dreams on independence.
ReplyDeleteWe should honor and give respect to the Courageousness and fearlessness of our filipino fighters that risks their lives for this nation and it's people. It's truly amazing how they were able to survive the feral treatment they've been run into and somehow pitiful because many lives have lose during this war. It's sad that many families lost their son, husband, and a father. But those sacrifice made us all free! That's why I believe that we should celebrate the "Araw ng Kagitingan" because they deserve it! They are the heroes that give us freedom! This is a history that shouldn't be forgotten.
