The day when time seemed to stand still amidst the roar of the explosion at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
Today, we honor those who sacrificed their lives to protect others. Those who fearlessly battled an invisible enemy – radiation. Those whose names may often remain unknown, but whose bravery is immortal.
May the bells of Chernobyl resonate in our souls with sorrow, mercy, and compassion. Let us remember Chernobyl and strive to ensure that humanity does not face such horrific disasters again.
We remember. We bow our heads. We give thanks.
