"The launch of the initiative comes in conjunction with President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan's order declaring November 30th every year to be observed as "Martyr's Day". This comes in memory of and in tribute to the sacrifices offered by the nation's martyrs and its loyal people who offered their lives so as to keep the UAE flag flying aloft while they were performing their national duties within and outside the country in civilian military and humanitarian fields" said Saif Al Kaabi Chief Executive Officer International Golden Group in a speech which was delivered on his behalf by Imad Erekat the Group's Assistant CEO.

The speech continued "We seek to reach families of our heroic martyrs and provide all forms of support and assistance to them. We strive for the good of our nation. It is really important to honour those who lost their loved ones and mitigate them in times of grief. Our wise leaders of the United Arab Emirates stood next to those families held their hands and raised their heads high to be proud of such brave martyrs."

Al Kaabi stressed that the initiative will confirm that the sacrifices of UAE's martyrs remain marked and that acknowledging their sacrifices will always be remembered by the leadership and the people "We will be together with the mothers and children of those martyrs and temper their pain and grief in an effort to promote national unity whatever the circumstances we face" he said.

Media representative Manal Ahmed who came up with th initiative said during the ceremony "We are gathered today to honour the memory of the young people of this great land to tell the world that the United Arab Emirates shares with other nations grief and pain for losing precious sons to serve justice. We all came today to those parents and hold their hands as their children look upon them with respect and honour".

Ahmed Hassan representative of the 'We Are All Emirates' group praised the humanitarian initiative saying it was a wonderful experience to be part of with all participants demonstrating an awareness by our Sheikhs across the nation.

He added that honouring martyrs may their souls rest in peace "Pays tribute to a humanitarian spirit of love and solidarity which dominates society and indicates the UAE's unity through thick and thin proving the spirit of devotion in the hearts of every Emirati and proving their complete readiness to defend their homeland their dignity and the honour of the Arab world."
