Kapanlagi.com - Heroes' Day, commemorated every November 10, is a very significant moment for the Indonesian nation. It is a time to remember and honor the relentless struggles of the heroes, especially those who fought on the battlefield in Surabaya in 1945. Although this commemoration is rich in historical meaning, unfortunately, Heroes' Day is not included in the list of national holidays or collective leave.
In 2024, Heroes' Day falls on a Sunday, providing an opportunity for the community to celebrate it more freely without disrupting daily routines. According to the Joint Decree of 3 Ministers, Heroes' Day is indeed emphasized more as a tribute rather than just a holiday or formal celebration.
Although there is no specific holiday, the Indonesian people are invited to continue celebrating Heroes' Day by rekindling the spirit of heroism. The values of patriotism inherited from the heroes can be manifested in various positive activities.
Let us together keep that spirit alive! More information can be found on Kapanlagi.com, Tuesday (11/5).
Heroes' Day is not just a date, but a reminder of the extraordinary courage that radiated from the heroic events in Surabaya on November 10, 1945. Amidst the turmoil of history, the youth known as "arek-arek Surabaya" took up arms against the Allied forces led by British and Dutch troops, fighting fiercely to defend the independence that had just been proclaimed.
The battle began when the Allied forces arrived in the City of Heroes on October 25, 1945, with the initial intention of freeing Japanese prisoners of war, but the situation escalated when they demanded the arek-arek Surabaya to surrender their weapons.
The firm rejection from these fighters triggered clashes that reached their peak on November 10, when General Mallaby, the British commander, became one of the casualties, further worsening the situation.
Despite facing an ultimatum to cease resistance, the fighting spirit of the Surabaya fighters remained unshaken; they stood firm for the honor and freedom of the nation.
The establishment of November 10 as Heroes' Day is rooted in Presidential Decree Number 316 of 1959, proclaimed by President Sukarno as a tribute to the youth of Surabaya who fought valiantly and with great patriotic spirit.
Heroes' Day reminds us all that the independence we enjoy today is the result of the selfless sacrifices of our ancestors.
In that fierce battle, thousands of the people of Surabaya were willing to sacrifice to defend the honor of the nation, making November 10 not just a date, but a symbol of extraordinary courage and sacrifice that should be honored and remembered by every succeeding generation.
In commemoration of Heroes' Day this year, the theme is "Emulate Your Heroes, Love Your Country," a call that urges us to appreciate and emulate the values of struggle of the heroes who have sacrificed everything.
The Ministry of Social Affairs emphasizes that honoring their contributions can be shown not only through grand actions but also through small actions that have a positive impact on the surrounding environment.
With this spirit, it is hoped that the younger generation can be inspired to revive the values of heroism such as courage, sacrifice, and deep love for the homeland.
In 2024, the Hero's Day logo comes with a profound message, highlighting four crucial aspects: honoring heroes, character education, national spirit, and encouragement to take action. This logo is not just a symbol, but a reflection of the fighting spirit of the Indonesian nation in embodying the values of heroism in everyday life.
With a strong meaning, this logo serves as a tribute to the heroes who have sacrificed for independence, while also reminding us all that every step we take stands on the foundation of their struggle.
The Battle of Surabaya was not just a physical clash, but also a stage for inspiring heroes, such as Bung Tomo, who with his loud voice through radio broadcasts ignited the fighting spirit of the fighters.
On the other hand, religious figures like KH. Hasyim Asy'ari and KH. Wahab Hasbullah also played a crucial role, inviting students and the community to unite in the fervor of resistance.
The synergy between these various elements created an unexpected strength, igniting the spirit of the youth of Surabaya to resist the pressure from the Allied forces with unwavering courage.
Although it is not an official holiday, Heroes' Day is still commemorated with fervor. The government and the community unite to hold grand ceremonies and social service activities as a form of respect for the heroes who have fought.
Educational institutions and communities also contribute with various events aimed at instilling the values of heroism in the younger generation, ensuring that their fighting spirit continues to live on and inspire.
Although Heroes' Day, which falls on November 10, is not a national holiday, this moment is still celebrated with great solemnity as a tribute to the heroes who have fought for the homeland.
This theme invites all of us to emulate the fighting spirit and sacrifices of the heroes who fought for independence, while also expressing a deep love for our beloved homeland. Let us awaken our sense of patriotism and appreciate their contributions by continuing the struggle for this nation!
