八二三戰役可說是確保國家安全，穩定臺海區域和平的關鍵戰役。在這場戰役中，金門地區承受共軍砲彈的瘋狂襲擊，然島上軍民在烽火連天的艱險惡戰中，以英勇不屈的精神和無比堅強的戰志，禦敵奮戰，不僅挫阻共軍進占金門的企圖，及進犯臺灣的野心，更共同寫下了軍民同舟共濟，用生命與血汗來捍衛國家的光榮史頁。時值八二三戰役60周年，吾人自當牢記這段軍民齊心浴血奮戰的史實，珍惜先烈前賢犧牲奉獻，得來不易的民主與和平，以無比堅定的決心與行動，共同確保國家安全與繁榮。



　　The 823 Battle is crucial to ensure the ROC security and maintain the peace across the Taiwan Strait. Though suffering frantic artillery fire, servicemen and civilians on Kinmen stood unshaken in solidarity under austere situations. They not only shattered PLA’s wishful attempt to capture Kinmen, but also stemmed its further ambition to invade Taiwan. The blood, sweat and tears that they shed for the country wrote a glorious page in our history. On commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 823 Battle, we should bear in mind the enduring legacy bequeathed by our predecessors and cherish the hard-obtained democratization and peace achieved by their heroic sacrifice. Then it is hoped that each individual inexorably defends the security and prosperity we enjoy now.
