This is the most important day in the history of our country. We got our freedom aback from the Britishers. Today we may not realize the importance of this day, but we should give a thought to those great people who fought for years to get their country free.It is because of the sacrifices and struggle of those people that we are breathing in a free air today. Otherwise we would have still been prisoners, slaves in our own country.
I salute all the great people who sacrificed their lives to give us a chance to live in a free country.
