SACRIFICES OF INDIAN ARMED FORCES

This is one of the many stories of soldiers who leave their families behind to be in war zones. They volunteer,
everyone of them knowing that they may be caught in the middle of fire exchange. They don’t spend quality
time with their families like we do. What they are busy with is doing whatever
they can to ensure we never endure another Mumbai attack. The stories about
soldiers and their families, as well as the burden they go through, are emotive.
The stories of missed anniversaries, birthdays, family gatherings and
celebrations, cannot begin to account for what our soldiers give for their
country.
The memories of Major Mukund and many other brave men
and women who gave their lives for our country will live
forever. As they willingly sacrifice their lives, they reflect the
love that our forefathers praised. We owe our freedom to them.
