The COVID-19 pandemic has presented various difficulties for the Indonesian people. These difficulties were previously unimaginable. However, it seems that after difficulties there will always be blessings. There emerges the will to work hand in hand and the strengthening of the sense of solidarity at various levels of society to rise together.

The moment for the commemoration of the 76th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia has a deep meaning because it also becomes a moment for struggle and hope. The struggle takes place in the midst of uncertainty against an invisible "enemy". There is also the hope of rising with the spirit of togetherness.
