Commemoration 
On the commemoration of martyrs he said this is done irrespective of the sex or nationality but based on human rights to every martyr and without discrimination. The work of commemoration is limited to printing of the name of martyr in the minds of Kuwaitis, citizens of the Gulf, Arabs and the world society at large through all available means, whether media, educational or otherwise, that guarantees and ensures message reached the public on all occasions at the local, Gulf, Arab and international forums. He went on to say the most important occasions prepared by the Martyr’s Office are celebrations of national holidays and liberation day.

In the past the office has participated in the national production which was held under the patronage of His Highness the Amir through an art work that falls under the national opera art depicting pictures of sacrifices of martyrs of Kuwait.

We are approaching the 30th anniversary of the Martyr’s Office.” Speaking of the invasion of Kuwait, he said, the day of Aug 2, is a day that the Kuwaiti citizen will not forget, and it will remain in the memory for time because this day is one of the darkest days that is witnessed by Kuwaitis in their history – the very painful and joyous at the same time … joyful because it reminds us of the cohesion and solidarity among the people of this country.
