My dear soldiers (our beloved shields),
Your work and dedication make us safe and proud. A body without life is equal to a country without her soldiers. Even when politics gets rotten, we still feel safe only because of you. When you're at home, you receive love from your family and close friends but when you are serving the nation you receive tonnes of love from millions of people. You are our idols! You’ve taught us love, discipline and compassion and loyalty.
Words are not enough to describe your efforts. Awards and certificates are not enough to describe your achievements. Political regimes may come and go but regiments remains the same just like the sun.
Jai hind!
