In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
At the onset of the third year of the victory of the Revolution, which is indebted to the brave sacrifices of the nation, and particularly, to the martyrs and the war-handicapped, I beseech the perpetual mercy of Allah Almighty for the ever-living martyrs and health and vigor for our beloved war-disabled and injured and send my endless greetings on them. Our nation is greatly indebted to these heroic soldiers who hoisted the banner of" La ilaha illa Allah" [There is no god but Allah] all over this beloved country and ensured the human dignity of this great nation with their strength and their blood and dealt a humiliating defeat to the leaders of unbelief and atheism with the support of the masses of millions, thus purging our country of their corrupt presence. May divine mercy and the endless gratitude of the beloved nation be showered upon their souls and the souls of the other selfless defenders of Islamic and human justice!
Our country has been facing many difficulties in the past two years, all of which it has, with the grace of Allah, victoriously overcome with dignity. We are hopeful that with the blessings of Allah Almighty and by resorting to unity of expression it will be able to overcome the other difficulties that are an integral part of every revolution and will withstand every hardship with patience and forbearance. Our nation and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic have proved in these two years that they are not prepared to let go of what they have achieved with great difficulty even if it is at the cost of their lives or the lives of their beloved children. You, the families of the martyrs and the war-disabled and injured, have proved that you will never tolerate the dominance of the colonial powers on the destiny of this country.
You, the families of the martyrs have, by proudly sacrificing the lives of your beloved ones, proved to the world that you will give up everything for the cause of Islam. You are the heart and soul of this nation; May Allah's Help be with you! By sacrificing your children, your youth, and your beloved ones you have proved to everyone that no internal or external conspiracy can overcome this determined nation.
The struggles of our country are based upon our beliefs and such struggles can never be defeated. It is only this struggle, which is founded upon our beliefs, that motivates the entire nation and clears their path off all problems and hardships. A nation that has discovered the true and Straight Path of humanity and has taken on a holy war for this cause is victorious. You are bound to emerge victorious. O our beloved martyrs! Rest assured that most surely your nation will not squander your achievements. O the survivors of the blood-ridden martyrs and O you war-handicapped beloveds who have ensured yourselves with eternal life by sacrificing your wellbeing! Rest assured that your nation is determined to safeguard this victory till the establishment of the rule of Allah and until the return of the Imam of the Time (may my soul be sacrificed for him)! May you be eternal and may the Islamic Republic be victorious!
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
