Every November 10, the people of Indonesia commemorate National Heroes Day as a moment of reflection on the services and sacrifices of the nation’s heroes who fought for independence. In 2025, the commemoration carries the theme “Pahlawanku Teladanku, Terus Bergerak Melanjutkan Perjuangan,” serving as a reminder that the spirit of heroism does not belong solely to the past, but must continue to live on through the real actions of today’s generation.
The spirit of the nation’s heroes is reflected not only in their courage against colonialism, but also in values such as honesty, integrity, responsibility, and dedication. These values remain relevant in the modern era, where struggles are no longer fought on battlefields, but through contributions to science, technology, education, and social welfare.
As an educational institution committed to shaping outstanding and principled generations, Untar places heroic values as an important part of student character development. The spirit to “keep moving forward and continue the struggle” is realized through the tridharma of higher education—education, research, and community service—which are oriented toward national progress and public welfare.
The momentum of Heroes Day serves as a reminder for the Untar academic community to continue innovating and contributing. The challenges of today’s era, marked by technological advancement, social change, and global dynamics, require a young generation that is resilient, adaptive, and socially conscious. In this context, heroism is interpreted as the courage to do good, fight for truth, and create positive impacts for others.
Through the commemoration of National Heroes Day 2025, Untar invites the younger generation to regard the nation’s heroes as moral role models and inspirations to keep moving forward. With the spirit of togetherness, compassion, and knowledge, the struggle of the heroes can be continued in tangible forms—building a nation that is independent, globally competitive, and sustainable.
Happy National Heroes Day 2025.
Let us reignite the spirit of heroism in every step we take, for an Indonesia that is more advanced, principled, and full of integrity.
