No money to waste on the dead. The living, especially children from poor family in far more need. It is a madness to spend time on commemorating the dead instead of helping the needy who are living.

War heroes? What a joke. There are no war heroes in Sri Lanka. There are only cowards, war criminals or ink pissers. What a heroic victory by an army of 350,000 soldiers to defeat a terrorist group of 30,000 and only then when half of the terrorists under Col. Karuna defected to the government through the mediation of Ranil.

One can commemorate by feeding the poor especially the children. This tamansha is a boru show. Poor intelligence. A disgrace to the entire country . Remember UNHRC.

War Heroes? You kill your own beloved citizens in thousands and claim heroism? You ban any investigation (either internal or external) on the conduct of these killings and claim heroism? Have you guys fought one single war against a foreign force during your existence for the sake of protecting the sovereignty of the country to claim heroism? You are actually commemorating cowardice.

Thanks to fallen heroes you are alive and can walk freely without the fear of bombs going off in Colombo. Children are starving today but they are not getting blasted by bombs thanks to the poor souls of the tri forces and police.

Over 70,000 Tamils massacred by Sri Lankan military and Sinhala regimes committed war crime and crime against humanity. Commemorating war heroes who committed war crimes further flare the feeling of the Tamils and divide the Sri Lanka into two nations Tamil nation and Sinhala nation.

Socrates, you should think more deeply about the ( presumed) dictum of your pseydonym ,,Socrates,, ,,I know I know nothing,, before commenting on the SL Army's 30 year struggle against LTTE terrorrism !!! However, what other comments say is correct, especially at this time Primarstufe the help the poor and children !!!

Sad to see some of the common. This function was to commemorate the soldiers who gave lives to protect the country from all forms of terrorism. If the soldiers did not do their duty at the time when hearing a bomb blast these commentators may be still hiding under their beds.
