A salute for martyrs
Freedom requires sacrifice. But nothing can be more expensive than a life to be offered as a price for freedom. When he saluted the martyrs of the January 25 Revolution in his speech on TV, Major-General Mohssen El-Fangari touched all the Egyptians' hearts. It was a message that the coming news is going to be good and fair, coinciding with the Egyptian expectations and hopes.
