“স্বাধীনতা আমার
অগ্নিঝরা দিনের গর্জন,
স্বাধীনতা আমার
বীরত্ব, ত্যাগ আর অদম্য স্বপ্নের অর্জন।”

১৯৭১ সালের ২৬শে মার্চ বাঙালির ইতিহাসে এক গৌরবময় সূচনা। শোষণ-বঞ্চনার দীর্ঘ অন্ধকার ভেদ করে জাতি শুরু করে স্বাধীনতার সংগ্রাম। লাখো শহীদের রক্ত আর অসীম ত্যাগের বিনিময়ে অর্জিত হয় আমাদের প্রিয় মাতৃভূমির মুক্তি।

এই মহান দিনে আমরা গভীর শ্রদ্ধার সাথে স্মরণ করি সেই সকল বীর সন্তানদের, যাঁদের আত্মত্যাগে রচিত হয়েছে স্বাধীন বাংলাদেশের ইতিহাস। তাঁদের প্রতি জানাই অকৃত্রিম শ্রদ্ধা ও চিরন্তন কৃতজ্ঞতা।
