Sutomo

Bung Tomo By Monica Salsabilla

My hero is Sutomo because he encouraged the youth to be brave and struggle for Indonesia. Sutomo who also known as Bung Tomo was born on 3 October 1920 and is best known for his role as an Indonesian military leader during the Indonesian National Revolution against the Netherlands. He played a central role in Battle of Surabaya when the British attacked the city in October and November 1945. Sutomo fought against Netherlands through the NICA soldiers, and ended with a battle on 10th November 1945. As his huge courage for battles on 10th November, this day declared as National Hero's Day. His ability was not only for fighting the Netherlands, but also to fight for Education. He spoke spontaneously on Education with fire on on his soul.
