Tangerang - Three bodies of TNI soldiers who died in Lebanon arrived at Soekarno Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Saturday, April 4.
The three soldiers who fell were Captain Inf Zulmi Aditya Iskandar, Sertu Muhammad Nur Ikhwan, and Praka Farizal Rhomadhon who fell while carrying out a peace mission in Lebanon.
The names are now etched as heroes, not only for the TNI, but also for the international community which appreciates their dedication through the Medal of Merit from the United Nations and the Lebanese Armed Forces.
Around 18.00 WIB, the atmosphere in the airport apron turned quiet. The line of soldiers stood tall to welcome the arrival of their colleagues who returned in the red and white flag. There was no sound other than the regular footsteps and occasional sobs from the waiting families.
In the VIP Lounge Building, the atmosphere of grief felt even denser when President Prabowo Subianto entered the room.
With a slow step, he approached one by one the coffins, giving the last salute with a firm but emotional face. Not long after, President Prabowo turned to the families left behind. He greeted them warmly, spoke softly, as if trying to ease the unspoken grief.
In one moment that caught attention, President Prabowo was seen stroking the head of a child from one of the fallen soldiers. In the room, there was no long speech. There was only silence, a look of respect, and a sense of loss that was shared. President Prabowo's presence was a confirmation that the sacrifices of these soldiers were not forgotten.
After the procession of honor, the three bodies were immediately sent to their respective home areas, namely Yogyakarta, Magelang, and Bandung to be buried before being buried in a military manner.
