It has been 14 years since the war heroes ended the brutal war that took thousands of lives in this country for 33 years for the dream of Eelam and brought peace to the country.
On May 19, 2009, the Eelam war started in 1979 by Velupillei Prabhakaran was defeated by the Sri Lankan forces.
During the last battle, LTTE used hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians as human shields.
The hostage rescue operation also went down in history as the largest hostage rescue operation ever launched in the world.
The war heroes captured the last LTTE ground at Vellamullyvaikkal and later with the discovery of Prabhakaran’s lifeless body at Nandikadal Lagoon ending the 33-year war and bequeathing the freedom of peace to all Sri Lankans.
May this be a tribute to the heroic warriors who ended the brutal war that destroyed the country’s economy, left thousands of people dead and crippled tens of thousands more, and gave the Sri Lankan nation the right to breathe freely!
