১৬ই ডিসেম্বর, বাংলাদেশের বিজয়ের দিন, আমাদের মনে করিয়ে দেয় এই স্বাধীনতার পেছনে ছিল নয় মাসের রক্তস্রোত, কান্নার নোনা জল আর অগণিত স্বপ্নভাঙার গল্প। যারা জীবন দিয়ে গেলেন, তারা শুধু যুদ্ধ করেননি; বরং বাঁচিয়ে গেছেন প্রজন্ম ও জাতির ভবিষ্যৎকে। দিনটি তাই কেবল উৎসব নয়, এই দিনটি একটি জাতির দাঁড়িয়ে ওঠার পেছনে একইসাথে ব্যথার করুণ স্মৃতি ও গৌরবের প্রবল অনুভূতির বাহক।
লাল–সবুজ পতাকা যখন ভেসে ওঠে বাতাসে, তখন তাই আমরা স্মরণ করি এই মাটিকে, যাতে মিশে আছে শত অশ্রু আর রক্তের বিন্দু।
বিজয় মানে শুধু জয় নয়, তার চেয়ে বড় দায়িত্ব, যে স্বাধীনতা পাওয়া গেছে তা যেন হারিয়ে না যায়।
আমরা আজ মাথা নত করে সেই সব শহীদকে স্মরণ করি, যারা নিজেদের শেষ নিঃশ্বাসও দান করে গেলেন মাতৃভূমিকে।
তাদের সাহসই আমাদের শক্তি, তাদের স্বপ্নই আমাদের পথ।

নটর ডেম ডিবেটিং ক্লাব শ্রদ্ধা জানায় সব বীর সন্তানদের যাদের কারণে আজ আমরা স্বাধীন।
