country and especially my faithful soldiers!
No human lips can express the thankful-ness which I feel to the
merciful Egziabier who has enable I to stand in your midst on this day
of which the Angels in heaven and the Creation on Earth could neither
have thought of nor known. Before everything else I want to tell you

"People of my Country, Ethiopia!
Today is a day on which Ethiopia is stretching her hands to Egziabier
in joy and thankfulness and revealing her happiness to her children.
This day on which the people of Ethiopia are freed from oppressive
foreign yoke and eternal servitude and on which I am enabled to rejoin
my people, whom I love and have longed for, will be honoured as a
holiday to be commemorated annually as a great Ethiopian Anniversary. On
this day we shall remember those heroic warriors who determined not to
surrender the great charge passed on to them by their Father, became
sacrifices, shedding their blood and breaking their bones for the
freedom of the land they loved and for the honour of their Emperor and
their flag. The history of Ethiopia will be witness for these our warriors".
Take care not to spoil the good name of Ethiopia by acts which are
worthy of the enemy. We shall see that our enemies are disarmed and
sent the same way they came. As St. George who killed the dragon is
the Patron Saint of our Army as well as of our allies, let us unite
with our allies in everlasting friendship and amity in order to be
able to stand against the godless and cruel dragon which has newly
risen and which is oppressing mankind. I charge you to consider them
as a brother and a friend and to show them kindness and consideration.
H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I, King of King, Mighty Conquering Lion
of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of Himself. RASTAFARI Liveth!
Give thanks for Life and to be in the Gates of Zion in this Armageddon
time. It is again a beautiful morning here in Addis Ababa at Megabit
Hiya Sabat Square to celebrate "Victory Day" with the many
living Patriarchs and Matriarchs of both the Ethio-Italian War and the
Korean War. The President of Ethiopia graced the ceremony with his
presence and gave a speech exemplifying Ethiopia's gratitude to her
many warriors.
Blessed Love,
RasTafarI Liveth.
