The epic sung by the people in Damietta folklore, and the grandchildren inheriting the values ??of patriotism and heroism from their ancestors. From among the people of Damietta Governorate came great leaders who worked in the armed forces and the interior and continued to present immortal epics in defense of the homeland. Congratulations to Damietta Governorate for its honorable national record in confronting the Crusader campaigns, the French campaign, and other waves of colonial and settlement invasion in its various forms. It is a record of the ancestors that the grandchildren of Damietta are proud of, and a respected model that the sons of the new generation stand before with all appreciation and pride. Long live free and proud Egypt, and may God protect its soldiers who watch over the protection of its land, borders, and wealth that God has given it, under the leadership of its leader,  the President Abd Al Fattah Al Sisi .
