Dear soldiers,

First of all, I would like to wish you a very happy Republic Day in advance.

It is because of you that all of us sleep peacefully. Whenever there's any tension at the borders, you act as a shield. We've seen you defend us in extreme weather conditions.

A big salute to all the brave soldiers. I pray to God for your well being and prosperity of your family. The zeal with which you serve our nation is commendable.

We owe you a lot, our heart gets filled with emotions when we hear about your bravery, and I get goosebumps every time I see you perform at the Republic Day parade. You make us proud to be an Indian.

You won't believe it, but I recite all patriotic songs while watching the Republic Day parade.

Thank you for everything.

Gaurav Bisht
