As we gather to commemorate this sacred day, let us remember the darkness that once loomed over us, and let us rekindle the flame of resilience that burns within us. We will never forget the horrors we endured, nor the heroes who delivered us. We will never yield to the void. We will endure, united, and unbroken."
