After another eventful year Sri-Lanka and the Whole world will welcome 2006 in roughly about 6 1/2 hrs by now. As a country we are rising from the tears and destruction caused by the Tsunami. Also the year saw a new Executive president being elected.

But I should not end this note without a word of tribute to all our galant soldiers who risk their own lives to protect someone elses. Many gave their lives in the struggle to protect mother lanka and Sri-Lankans and they continue to do so. There fore the whole Sri_lankan Nation owes you for your invaluable service.

May the Blessings of the Tripple Gem be with all our Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim Brothers and Sisters who are serving in our forces to defend our country and all it’s people.

You’ll will always be remembered.

May my Country and all it’s people have the courage and will to stand and unite against all Odds to achieve a better year 2006.

Ayubowan.
