The ceremony was led by Operations Director Yusep Nugraha, who delivered the message from the Minister of Social Affairs, Saifullah Yusuf, centered on the theme “Exemplify Your Heroes, Love Your Country.”
In his remarks, Mr. Nugraha emphasized the profound implications of the theme. The phrase “Exemplify Your Heroes” signifies that all thoughts and actions should be inspired by the spirit of heroism, while “Love Your Country” underscores the need for substantial contributions to the advancement of the Indonesian nation.

The responsibilities of past heroes involved dismantling the colonial structures of their oppressors, whereas contemporary heroes face the challenge of eradicating ignorance and poverty, which remain at the root of social issues in Indonesia.
Heroism can be embodied by any individual who offers enlightenment, hope, and engages in honorable actions that propel the nation towards progress across various domains. The Minister expressed the hope that Heroes’ Day would serve as more than a routine observation; rather, it should ignite a renewed spirit among citizens to foster innovation as a manifestation of modern heroism.
