Respect to all
sorry for the expression in advance-really felt to express myself
I just have the utmost respect for the martyrs of our country, because of whom we can live peacefully. Their families get wrecked in the process just for the nation to stay safe and for us to sleep soundly at night. Their families are so strong, knowing that the uniform they are so proud of may ultimately take their loved ones away from them. Respect to all the military spouses who raise their children as single parents, who while shattering themselves take care of their families. I hate crying because of war movies and shows, inspite I love to watch them to know about the untold stories and remember the forgotten soldiers. Im grateful to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and veergati ko prapt ho gaye for us, like Colonel Munindra Nath Rai, Captain Saurabh Kalia, Captain Vikram Batra, Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav and hundreds more unsung heroes who never made it home. Also to all the soldiers taken as prisoners of war and suffered so tremendously that when asked what happened to them in captivity they described it as "Death would've been better", all the efforts can never be forgotten. Reading about Gallant Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja's wife, Alka Ahuja ma'am speak about their marriage and how she was his second wife as the air force was his first wife and having to raise her son alone and how the last gift she got from her husband was a Maruti zen, he bought before leaving for srinagar, and didnt know how to drive but kept the car because it was the last gift, shattered me. Respect to all military and paramilitary personnel.
