Dear Soldier,
Every Christmas, my family attends the church service. All arrangements and the decorations to welcome both the military and civilians are done by the soldiers, irrespective of their individual religious beliefs.
When all this is done, they take a back seat ensuring that all the civilians are comfortable just like they perform their duty at the border, never once hogging the limelight.
Thank you for everything you do for us. My family wishes you everything that is good in life. We salute you.
Jai Hind!
