Seattle Remembers its Fallen Heroes and Heroines with National Pride!
Hundreds of members of the Eritrean Community of the Seattle Metro area
gathered today, Wednesday, June 20th, at the Seattle Mahberekom to pay
homage and express deep respect in memory of the men and women who got
martyred in the long Eritrean war for independence and while defending
its national sovereignty, political independence and territorial
integrity.
The nationals, who had filled the main hall of Mahberekom to over
capacity, had contemplated and weighed in what the death of the
thousands of Eritrean Martyrs meant to each and every one of them.
Speakers after speakers expressed the heart felt honor they felt by what
the selfless Eritrean martyrs did for Eritrea and Eritreans; and the
undeniable proud legacy they left behind. They expressed their deep
gratitude to the young men and women, who left everything worldly behind
and faced pain and suffering, death and limb dismemberment so that we,
the living Eritreans, could be free! To that end, the participants
rejuvenated their love and dedication for their fallen heroes/heroines
and pledged to do whatever they could to support the family members our
Martyrs left behind.
