Щороку 23 серпня моя кохана Україна святкує День Державного Прапора, 24 серпня — День Незалежности. Сьогодні нашій сучасній державності виповнюється 33 роки, хоча насправді українська історія сягає тисячоліть. Це — роки здобуття Майбутнього, Волі, Незалежности. Це — роки Віри, Самоусвідомлення, Шляху.
Україна — це Боротьба. Вічна боротьба за долю.
Дякую кожному та кожній, завдяки кому ми можемо святкувати цей День. Дякую всім, хто боронив, боронить і боронитиме нашу Державу.
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
