Dear Soldier, I’m Not Brave Enough to be a Soldier Like You

Dear soldier,

Everyday we are able to enjoy because you have happily subtracted the portion of your happiness for us.

We are able to live our lives peacefully with our families and friends only because of you. You chose this beautiful country over your family. It's easy to wear nationalism on one’s sleeves but to happily stand in front of the enemies, just to protect the country is absolute bravery and love for India.

I know, I am not brave enough to be a soldier like you, therefore, I cannot Thank You enough for being a great soldier.
