On 28 November 1912, the independence of Albania was declared in Vlora, the coronation of the continuous sacrifice over the centuries for the creation of Albanian state. Ismail Qemali when he was raising the flag embroidered by Marigona, in his solemn speech, he said: "Our neighbors should not be lied to greedily, because the Albanian does not tolerate slavery.
This land is our homeland. We have our language, our customs, our culture.
"So today, gathered in this great historical assembly, we express before the whole world the will of our sovereign people."
The children of this nation enjoy life and look to the future conscious that this flag is proof of survival for which great battles have been fought.
Flag Day is the most important day in the history of our nation with which
we celebrate how the Albanians escaped from slavery and began the journey towards a free life and a better future.
This day of glory, eternity and pride belong to the renaissance,
martyrs, partisans and heroes of the nation who bestowed on the homeland freedom, unity and democracy.
They fell to never die, they are among us, in our hearts, in our minds, at every celebration and anniversary.
Albanians, wherever you are: Happy Flag Day!
