Today marks the 63rd anniversary of the Mon National Day which will be held in several locations around the world. The Mon people observe this auspicious day by saluting the Mon national flag and remembering the thousands who have sacrificed and dedicated their lives in the past and those who continue to do so for the Mon national cause. The Mon National day was founded to commemorate the last Mon Kingdom, Hongsawatoi (Bago/Pegu) which was founded by two Mon brothers, Samala and Vimala in 572 A.D. However, the kingdom was occupied and destroyed by the Burman king, Alaung Paya in 1757 A.D. Since the invasion of our land and the mass murder of our people in 1757, the Mons lost their independence and become a people without a country.
