Throwing more light on the topic Amna said, “This day must be celebrated with high spirits and tremendous gratitude in our hearts. This day is celebrated to esteem the martyrs and the men in uniform who valiantly fought and continued to fight on our borders to shield our country’s honour. December 7 is glorified as Armed Forces Flag Day”.
“This day is devoted to the soldiers who defended our nation. Soldiers are the custodian of the nation. They scarified various things in their lives to execute their duties. The aim of this day is also to gather funds from people for the enhancement of the Armed Forces staff”, added Mehransh.

Mohd. Ilyas presented a poignant poem in Urdu on the occasion, which read like:
“Apne watan se hamne hardam yaari ki
Haq ke liye jung-e-wafaa jaari ki.
Koi bataa de kab humne gaddari ki,
Dushman par humlon ki jab taiyari ki”.
“Hai zurm agar watan ki mitti se mohabbat,
Toh ye zurm sadaa mere hisaab mein rahega!
Ghaayal hote hain, marte hain, par rukte nahin;
Aye mere watan! Tere laal kabhi bikte nahi”.
Principal JK Public School, Kunjwani Rajesh Rathore expressed his gratitude towards the Indian Armed forces for making supreme sacrifices and leaving no stone unturned in safeguarding the honour of our Motherland. He appreciated the bravehearts from our valiant Armed forces for being so loving, caring & dedicated towards the nation.
