Marking the annual Commemoration Day, President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan expressed deep gratitude to those who gave their lives "defending justice, peace, and the principles of humanity."

His Highness stated that the UAE's enduring message remains one of stability, unity, and cooperation, dedicated to the wellbeing and prosperity of all.

He noted the significance of the occasion that honours the brave individuals who gave their lives for the UAE. He recognised their ultimate sacrifice as an enduring symbol of patriotism and loyalty to the nation.

The President also expressed deep gratitude to the heroes’ families, reaffirming the UAE's unwavering commitment to supporting them. He emphasised that their loved ones’ sacrifices will forever epitomise selfless dedication to the progress and prosperity of the UAE.

"Our fallen heroes answered the nation’s call with unparalleled courage and selflessness. Today, the call of the homeland is one of building and advancing towards a brighter, more prosperous future. Inspired by their legacy, our youth, with gratitude and determination, are now leading the charge in service to our nation, seizing every opportunity to drive progress and innovation," the President said.

"The UAE will remain a symbol of pride and strength, its flag held high, and its sovereignty and achievements firmly protected," he added. 

It was in 2015 when the late Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the second President of the UAE, declared November 30 as Martyrs Day in honour of those who sacrificed their lives for the country.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, also shared his tribute.

"We honour the commitment of the men and women of the National Service Programme. We commemorate 10 years of dedication and service with the ‘Stand of Loyalty’ Parade," he said in a message on the platform X.
