Tugu Pahlawan, a Historical Monument
On Thursday, March 10th, 2005 I
went to
Tugu
Pahlawan on Jalan Pahlawan
in Surabaya.
Tugu Pahlawan was built
in 1994 by
Ir.Sugeng Gunadi, and was
legaled by
Mr. Abdul Wahid on February 19th 2000.
I went
together with my friends, my teachers,
and Mr. Flat
Stanley by car. We were really happy.
We could
imagine how beautiful there.
A woman
helped us and told the story about
the heroes
stones there. She was so kind and
made us
understand about the heroes stones.
We also
listened to the speech of Bung Tomo,
the leader
of Arek-arek Suroboyo.
He was a
strong man.
Then we went
to the second floor to see many
ancient
things, such as: guns, diorama statis,
and an
old-fashioned radio used by Bung Tomo
to burn the
spirit of Arek-arek Suroboyo. Those
things were used
to fight another country
that wanted
to take the Indonesia’s freedom.
The diorama tells about:
a.
The Establishment of the people’s security
organization and resistance militia. Organization
on Bubutan street, Sept 4th, 1945.
b.
The Flag Incident at Yamato Hotel, Sept 19th,1945.
c.
The Establishment of the Indonesia National
Commitee, August 27th,1945.
One thing
that made us admire was watching the film about Indonesia’s war
against Dutch and British.
About 12 in
the afternoon we left the museum and went back to school. We were really happy,
we would never forget it. And we would like
to thank for Indonesia.
