Lt Gen Denzil Kobbekaduwa is in the league of greatmilitary leaders of the world - who had been leading from the front - strategising, motivating andleading. Deeply loved by his troops for his leadership and humility, he was adored by his countrymen,irrespective of place or position.Our Nation may still remember the times when it was lead from the front. We may also still rememberthe days when the terrorists were called terrorists, and were treated rightly so. Till recent, the sameterrorists were being accorded the red carpet in return for the brutality and the inhumanity perpetratedon a democratic nation and its citizens, in return for small favours.Lt Gen Denzil Kobbekaduwa had the `Nation First` not himself, or his kith and kin first. Else, he wouldbe living with us today. He inspired millions in his life and millions more in his death.We also have many other leaders. Sadly, many would fail to inspire an ant, even if they live a millionyears. Some even live with a sense of denial that we are a nation under siege, to other it is a convenientoversight. Lt Gen Denzil Kobbekaduwa, lead from the front, and did not pass the buck to the nextgeneration.We urge our leaders to provide the fullest support to our brave defence force personnel who aresacrificing all they have, in the way general Lt Gen Denzil Kobbekaduwa have inspired them to -`The Nation First - not myself First`</blockquote>
