It is no longer a confusion, but I never truly embraced the contradiction of the significance of the two days present. Over the years, I have come to realize the spirit of 1971 is more than just a catchy slogan. The struggle for independence was more than just folklore. And though the struggle started much earlier, March 26, 1971, was the exclamation point -- there was no turning back after that. Happy Independence Day.
