Commemorating Heroes' Day, Let's Nostalgia for a Moment with 7 Portraits of Indonesian Heroes Who Have Led and Defended Our Independence!

In leading and defending the independence of the Indonesian nation, it was certainly not an easy endeavor. Many of our predecessors were willing to sacrifice their wealth and lives so that the Indonesian nation could achieve its independence. 

Although Indonesia gained independence on August 17, 1945, the Indonesian nation still faced challenges with the arrival of Dutch forces disguised as allies. The arrival of the Dutch was certainly not without motives. They wanted to regain power in our beloved homeland.

However, despite being independent, the spirit of the Indonesian nation's struggle did not waver and instead grew stronger. The peak of Indonesia's struggle was on November 10, 1945, which we now commemorate as Heroes' Day. So, in relation to this heroic atmosphere, let's take a look at 7 portraits of Indonesian national heroes!
