In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Greetings and peace be upon you beloved ones who have sacrificed your health and well-being for the cause of Islam and have, thereby, secured the independence and freedom of our beloved Islamic country.
The noble nation of Iran takes pride in your service and self-sacrifice. You have revived the memories of the great souls who had sacrificed their lives and property during the first years of Islam. Your great service has eternally etched your names into the annals of the history of Islam and mankind; and your proud struggles will serve as inspiration to all freedom fighters throughout history.
I pray to God Almighty to grant you all with a grand compensation and I pray for your health and well-being. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
A sincere friend to all of you dear ones,
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
