Swansea will become the first Welsh side to play in the Premier League after beating Reading 4-2 in the Championship Play-off final at Wembley.
Scott Sinclair, a capture from Chelsea, scored a hat-trick which included two penalties with Stephen Dobbie getting the other on a day of high drama.
And Rogers is well aware of the national pride at the achievement of a club which was on the brink of dropping out of the Football League eight years ago.
"It really is an incredible story to go from that to the Premier League in such a short space of time.
"We will be very proud to be representing Wales in the Premier League. It is a massive achievement.
"We have done Wales proud. To become the first team from a nation to go to the Premier League is very special."
It seemed like a straightforward procession for the Swans, who finished third in the Championship, as they led 3-0 at half-time.
But the Royals scored twice early in the second half and then hit the post as Rogers' side hung on grimly before reasserting their authority and sealing their success with a fourth 11 minutes from time.
"Conceding two goals helped us refocus and get a bit of control - it's fantastic. It was a proper, proper game.
"Even at half-time we did not think we had it won. We knew Reading would come back at us because they had nothing to lose and they are a very hard team to beat.
"We were disappointed to concede from two set-pieces but we regained control of the game and created the chance for the penalty.
"To score four goals against a team which is defensively strong is a real achievement. We never had it totally our own way but we dug in and showed the right mentality.
"We deserved it, not just on the day but over the course of the season because we played some very good football."
The Welsh side have been dubbed "Swansealona" for their belief in a slick passing game and Rogers is confident they will be a good addition to the Premier League.
"I said to the players it wasn't about winning, it was about defending our principles and how we played.
"When it got to the last 30 seconds and we were still 4-2 up I did something I have never done before.
"I allowed my mind to wander and to reflect on my journey to this point.
"I thought of all the hours and miles I have put in, the time spent away from my family and the sacrifices we have made.
"It all flashed through my mind in a few moments of real emotion before the final whistle sounded and it all came flooding out.
"Those moments don't come around often in life and the emotion of it will be with me until I die."
