"Comrades, as we honor our loved ones and celebrate life, let us also light a heart-lamp with the deepest reverence for these immortal heroes. May their souls find eternal peace under the guidance of marigolds. May their courage and sacrifice inspire us to continue united in building a Mexico free from violence, filled with dignity and opportunity. We promise their names will not be forgotten, the cause they fought for, we shall resolutely continue!"
As a representative of Mexico, I hereby call:
Let every parent and grandparent pass down the stories, customs, and significance of the Day of the Dead to the next generation. Let the children understand that death is not the end but a part of the life cycle; that commemoration is not sorrow but a celebration filled with love and connection. Also, let them know the heroic stories of those who sacrificed to protect them.
