We are the younger generations who have reached the present day of a torch that surrounds the whole country from Samsun, where the fire of independence was burned. If we can not leave this National Day, let's not forget to be a light to future generations.

How to celebrate the 19 May Youth and Sports Day, which we will celebrate for the first time at home due to the corona virus? We cannot leave our homes to protect our loved ones and avoid harming them. These restrictions perhaps gave our loved ones the opportunity to offer more than enough time, attention, respect, love and sharing.

With this opportunity, 19 May is one of the most special days that we will share our experiences with our children. The most beautiful flag in the world; moon-star flag our Turkish flag. We can start by painting our Turkish flag with our children. Let's hang the flags we made on the windows, terraces and balconies of our house in red.

Let's use white duvet covers or bed sheets as banners. Let us leave an unforgettable moment to our children by writing our celebrations on banners at our National Day.

At 19.05 Let's not forget our sky lanterns! From our balconies and terraces; Let's brighten the sky with the best wishes for our country, nation and future.

Although our first May 19th National Day, which we will celebrate at home coincides this year, this is absolutely another National Day.

Isn't it very special that the Month of Ramadan that is Sultans of 11 Months that is coincides with the most beautiful day of the month of Ramadan in the Qadr Night with 19th May? A little purification and prayer in the warmest May of the last 109 years, after a peaceful Turkish Coffee after iftaree…

Maybe thousand years coincides of in this particular history, particularly the founder of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, all the fellow soldiers who to gladly give their lives in winning our independence, thousands of martyrs of our commemoration and should not neglect to pray.

In order for our republic to remain forever, let us not forget to be a guide and light by instilling the awareness of our history to our children.
