With every day that passes, the brave heroes of the Free Syrian Army prove that they are worthy of the responsibility that Syrians have entrusted to them, being ever so courageous and steadfast in the epic battle of Qusair. They have protected, and continue to protect, the lives of the innocent and the land of dignity and honor with strong will and firm resolve. This has lead our oppressors to bow their heads and admit that their plan for Syria was a mistake. Our heroes have taught them that the land of Qusair is a graveyard for any invader.

Our heroes have lived the word of truth through the barrel of a gun, alone in their great struggle against the tyranny of Assad's gang and the crimes of Iran and Hezbollah.

Our great people continue to declare the unity of the Syrian people with the bond that joins all Syrians. Fighters have rallied around the word of truth and under a single banner -- to expel the invaders and liberate the country from those who commit crimes against humanity and from those who deny the people their rights.

The people will continue in their struggle to liberate their land at any cost, and will force Hezbollah to withdraw from all of Syria, whether it wants to or not.

We ask for victory for the heroes of the revolution, Mercy for our martyrs, health for our wounded, and freedom for our detainees.

Long live Syria and its people, free and with honor.
