| NO MAN LEFT BEHIND (2018) |
The Battle of Marawi brought out many stories of gallantry,
courage, dedication to duty of our troops and the resilience of
Marawi residents. These stories came to light during the city’s
darkest times. The Battle of Marawi also strengthened us as a
nation. As diverse as we are, we were unified by our desire to
live peacefully and we will face with ferocious fervor all those who
would disturb that peace.
This book, “No Man Left Behind,” reminds us all of what happened, of the things we should have done but failed to do, of the lessons learned and the best practices that may aid us in the future.
This book indeed serves as a call that guarding our nation from those that imperils it is a shared responsibility by all of us.
This is not to celebrate the Siege of Marawi, but to remember the heroism of soldiers, the residents as well as other individuals and groups who sacrificed their lives during that five-month long conflict.
The Department of National Defense hopes that these achievements in Marawi City will be a catalyst that shall bring to the fore future cooperation and partnerships not only against terrorism but also against other national and regional security threats.
It is my sincere hope that this book will awaken the interest of our people specially the younger generation that “vigilance is the price of liberty”.
