Suggested Daily Topic
To make things more interesting I'm going add a suggested daily topic. To perk up discussion between Steemians. As always you are free to comment whatever you like to enter. You do not have to follow this suggestion.
The daily topic for today is:
Tell us about heroes who are most meritorious to your country's independence. I know alot of about the US heros who fought for America, but virtually nothing about other countries struggles for independence. Let's see if we can spread the knowledge some and acknowledge those contributions.
Thank you @dewi.ratna for the topic idea.
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
I'm American, so I don't have a non-American independence hero to contribute. My namesake, however, was leader of a fictional country.

Soekarno is the hero of Indonesia's independence proclamation.
Here there is no hero, everyone is a fighter.
Hey @bunnypuncher,,If you still have money, give some SBD for me because I want to buy new clothes, because I do not have money to buy it ..
Thank you.
Your great contest needs renewal to become one of the greatest contests.
I do not know my country's independence hero unless I only know her picture in paper money.
At school I am often invited by teachers to appreciate the services of heroes and contemplate their struggle, so I never appreciate my teacher.
I live in South Africa. Nelson Mandela is the most significant person in our history. He was jailed for 27 years for his struggle against an oppressive regime that denied the majority of South Africans fundamental rights like voting. Upon his release, he was elected to be the first democratically elected president of South Africa in the first election he was allowed to vote in himself. Having gained ultimate power he exercised this power to reconcile the people of South Africa instead of seeking revenge.
I wrote a recent piece about him, as this year we will be celebrating his 100th birthday. (He passed away 5 years ago)

Check it out. It is old, so do not upvote it.
Very interesting topic.
Every country that has experienced colonies must have a hero.
In Indonesia, every service hero will be rewarded in the form of currency, if his struggle in expelling the invaders is very large, then the value of the currency attached his photo is on the small value of money, while the hero who small his service in fighting for independence will be rewarded so big by displaying his photo on the money of great value ... this is Indonesian friend, I do not know with in America.
When I was little I was eager to be a hero,
Door Duistermis tox Licht, Drop Out Dark Light, that's the title of the book of the famous collection of letters Raden Ajeng Kartini. The letters written to his friends in the Netherlands then became evidence of how much the desire of a Kartini to release his people from discrimination that has been entrenched in his day.
If the hero is very meritorious in fighting for independence, the successor of the nation even very meritorious in ruining the nation ..
I want to win in your contest
Aceh has never been independent, many heroes have been bribed with money to return within the Indonesian state.
It's hard to say who, because very much.
photos heroes are also included dong and references about hero characters Indonesia please more on perbanyak lagi..salam perdana ya ... please klo want
Tanpa semangat, secanggih apapun senjata yang kamu pergunakan tidak ada apa-apanya tapi dengan semangat yang membara sebatang bambu runcing bisa membuat kita meraih kemerdekaan.
Hopefully many lessons can we learn from their struggle
I have not slept from last night
The hero who fought for his freedom of life suffered greatly, the next generation of nations who have enjoyed independence because of the struggle of their ancestors instead live happily.
I also have a hero in my family they are my father and my mother a hero who like this true hero
Usually we will remember the hero on the day of the hero.
Our hero who always remembered is CUT NYAK DIEN a woman who is very brave able to fight the Dutch colonists in the Netherlands colonize our country Indonesia
The name of the hero is greatly magnified in our country, if it is a hero against an enemy with an arrow or weapon, unlike our hero who uses pointed bamboo against enemies
Heroes in our country Indonesia in particular, are very much, they are very brave against the Japanese army when our country colonized for 3.5 more years
Bung tomo the term is known dashing and brave against the NKRI rebels in our country
The real hero for me is a mother and father who can give me more motivation in comparison with other meritorious heroes
Once when our country was not yet independent we were colonized by japan and dutch to portuguese, when it appeared the heroes who fought them for the honor of our country, among the heroes there are women he is CUT NYAK DIEN and CUT MEUTIA
Maybe his name is not so much like another hero, but he is very meritorious to my life he is known as the "unsung hero" my mom and dad who have guided me to the right place
I'm not going to tell you about a hero of independence, but rather about a great heroine.
Great choice! I'm glad I stumbled onto your response. I just learned new stuff!

Simon Bolivar
Looking up as a motivation is not to be inferior, and looking down to be more grateful not to be arrogant
Anger is a condition where the tongue works faster than the mind, and the spoken words will only be a regret
No matter what your day, never let someone make you feel that you do not deserve what you want
Do not ask me ..😝
Many heroes in Indonesia do not get government awards, his services for independence are not appreciated.
Teuku Umar fought to the death for the sake of achieving Indonesian independence.
Happiness belongs to those who have dreams and have the courage to make it come true
It's enough I'm a loser in your contest, now I want to win.
I'm not a hero, I'm just a vet ...
Indonesia is a former Portuguese colony, then the Netherlands, and Japan .. independence was achieved with resistance in various regions to repel invaders, until finally Indonesia felt its independence in 1945 ..
Here in Venezuela we have many independence heroes, but who i like the most is Francisco de Miranda, he traveled around the world before the venezuelan independence, he was:
Lieutenant General and Admiral in Chief of Venezuela
Marshal of France
Captain and Colonel of Spain
Colonel of the United States of America and Russia
Francisco de Miranda.
Sebastián Francisco de Miranda y Rodríguez de Espinoza (March 28, 1750 – July 14, 1816), commonly known as Francisco de Miranda, was a Venezuelan military leader and revolutionary. Although his own plans for the independence of the Spanish American colonies failed, he is regarded as a forerunner of Simón Bolívar, who during the Spanish American wars of independence successfully liberated much of South America. He was known as "The First Universal Venezuelan" and "The Great Universal American". Source

Francisco de Miranda was phenomenal
