En route from Jaffna to Point Pedro, On a dedicated mission, Traveling in vehicle bearing registration 22 sri 2257, In a fleeting moment...

The darkened northern skies, On the verge of tears, And the profound silence wrapping the environment, Bore ominous portents Of an impending tragedy...

On the first day of September 1984, In the Thikkam area of Jaffna, Fallen to a ruthless terrorist landmine, Yielding their final breaths For the sovereignty of the nation, The first four war heroes Of the Special Task Force.
