To each and every soldier,

I am so delighted to do something for our heroes. Through this ‘Sandesh’ I can finally reach out to them and say a big THANK YOU for looking after us.

I'm safe, enjoying every moment of my life thanks to you all. I get to celebrate festivals, enjoy national holidays while you are still posted and guarding our borders. I wonder, when was the last time you enjoyed a day off? Just do nothing, sit idle and maybe read a book and have a cup of chai. But all you do is sit on guarded on your post, with your arms and stay attentive.

I am so proud and honoured to be a part of this great country. We are rooting for each one of you brave soldiers. We care and highly appreciate your sacrifices.

This Republic Day is dedicated to you!
