Good morning, my respected teachers and my beloved friends. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who present here for giving me this opportunity to be standing here speaking on the topic love for country in this very occasion. First of all, let us all give thank to The Almighty for giving us His blessings so that we all can be here together in good health.

Ladies and gentlemen, Indonesia is our country where we were born and raised. Well, some of you might not have been born and raised in this country, but admit it that now, we all live in this dearest Indonesia, the country whose people we interact with every day, and the country whose natural resources we make use of every day. Therefore, it can be said that it is our obligation to pay back everything this country has given to us. Love is the greatest thing that we can give in return to this beloved country. When we love something, we have this urge to take care of it and protect it from all sorts of dangers. That is why love is the most powerful thing that can make our homeland last forever.

Ladies and gentlemen, love for country is not only declaring that we love Indonesia, but also putting in action showing that we love Indonesia. Then, what should we do to show our love for our homeland? First, we must learn the history of our country. There is this saying, “You can’t love what you don’t know.” If we do not really know Indonesia, then how can we really love it? Learning history is a way to get to know our country better and to love it more. Second, we must respect its people. As we know, the people of our country come from various races, ethnics, and religions. We must respect them regardless their background in order to maintain the unity of Indonesia. Third, we must use our rights and do obligations as citizens, such as participating in elections, obeying regulations, and so forth. Next, we must use Indonesian local products more often than using those of foreign in order to help developing our country’s economy. Last but not least, we must proudly communicate with Indonesian language and our traditional languages in daily life to preserve them.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of my speech. Thank you for your time and attention. I hope it has made you realize that it is important to love our homeland, but it is more important to show our love for the homeland through our actions.
