| We
will not betray the achievements of our war heroes who
are second to none as they had to face challenges not
faced by any other army in the world, said President
Mahinda Rajapaksa addressing the ceremony dedicated
to the memory of the war heroes at the War Heroes’
memorial, Mailapitiya, Kandy yesterday (7) evening.
This
ceremony was the culmination of a Month of Remembrance

of the President. Family members of the war heroes,
provincial and national political leaders, three Service
Chiefs and the IGP and other high-ranking members of
