Indonesia's Independence Day

Merdeka !!
August 17th is my country, Indonesia, independence day. We celebrate this independence day every year with so many activities.
For most of you, might not understand what is the meaning of Merdeka ! Well, merdeka is the way we shout or yell to show our happiness on our independence. Merdeka means get independence.
Although in some posts in the internet, like in CIA website, August 17th is not admitted as Indonesia's Independence Day, but we, the resident of Indonesia, believe that our independence has started when the text of Proklamasi (independence proclaim) was read on 17 August 1945 by our two Proclamators, Soekarno (then become the first Indonesia's president) and Muhammad Hatta (the first vice president of Indonesia).

Many wishes emerges on every year celebration. Most of them are about the betterment on every single area. Sure, we are working on it.

Merdeka !
Happy 62th anniversary, Indonesia !
We love you !
