Meanwhile, Hon Prime Minister, Mahinda Rajapaksa issuing a message of congratulations on account of the 71st Army Anniversary says commemoration of brave soldiers of the Army should be done not only because they eradicated the most ruthless three-decade long terrorism bringing the north, south, east and the west under one banner, but also owing to varied roles they continue to perform unhesitatingly whenever the Nation is faced with any difficult challenge. Humanity explicitly shown by soldiers as frontiers and their task in the management of COVID-19 epidemic which has plagued the world is arduous and praiseworthy. The dedicated strength and dedication they devote to the country to develop and rise as a unitary status is enormous. At a time, Sri Lanka is entering a new era of revival, the whole Nation should pay their tribute to those soldiers who are also the defender of the Nation. Running sneakers | Nike React Element 87
