“In 1945, November 10, the heroes bravely fought against enormous foreign powers, especially British power, the winner of World War II. With resistance and great sacrifice, they defended the independence and sovereignty of the Indonesian nation,” said Prabowo on the altar of the Garuda Pancasila Monument, TMP Kalibata.

He then invited all ceremony participants to remember the services and struggles of the heroes, and pray for the souls of those who had died defending the nation and state.
“Let us remember the spirits and services of the heroes who died defending the independence, sovereignty and honor of the Indonesian nation, especially those who died fighting against foreign powers who supported the re-colonization of the Indonesian nation by foreign nations,” he said.
Prabowo also reminded us never to forget the services of heroes.
“Let us never forget their service, their heroism,” said President Prabowo.
The National Pilgrimage and Sacred Reflection Ceremony at TMP Kalibata was led by Prabowo, who was accompanied by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
The ceremony was attended by almost all levels of the Red and White Cabinet, heads of institutions, and heads of agencies, leaders of the TNI and Polri.
The state officials, except those from the TNI and Polri, all wore suits, which were complete civilian clothes (PSL), with blue ties and black caps.
The ceremony took place at 23.45 WIB and ended at 23.56 WIB.Prabowo left the ceremony location on the eve of the change of day, namely when the clock had entered Monday (10/11).
The Battle of Surabaya between Indonesian fighters and soldiers against British allied troops was also triggered by the tearing of the Dutch flag at the Yamato Hotel, Surabaya City, East Java, by young men, and the death of the leader of the British troops in East Java, Brigadier General Mallaby.
Allied forces then issued an ultimatum to the fighters to surrender.However, the ultimatum made the people angry and they fought against the allied troops.The conflict lasted for approximately 3 weeks.
During that battle, Bung Tomo, who led one of the people’s troops, made a speech to the fighters by issuing a slogan that is famous to this day: “Freedom or Death!”
