I salute to our Sri Lankan military for its extraordinary and unforgettable efforts to end this 30 year old war.
I shall remember the brave soldiers who have sacrificed their lives to fight for peace for our country.
Thank you President Mahinda Rajapaksha for your determination and hard work in carrying out the world's biggest rescue operation and making Sri Lanka the first Nation to combat terrorism.
I am truly grateful to all those who contributed to making a United Sri Lanka.
