Army Day 2020: Sachin, Gambhir, Raina, Salute Brave Soldiers

Army Day is celebrated on 15 January every year.

The nation celebrated Army Day on Wednesday to salute the brave soldiers of the country and wishes poured in from all corners, including that of sportspersons, for the troops stationed across the country.

Batting great Sachin Tendulkar led the charge among those involved in the sports fraternity to pay tribute on Army Day, which is celebrated on 15 January every year.

It was on January 15 in 1949 when Field Marshal Kodandera M Cariappa took over as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from General Sir Francis Butcher, the last British Commander-in-Chief of India.

Wishing our Indian Army personnel and their families a happy Army Day. We thank our jawans for their selfless service to the nation. Jai Hind! #ArmyDay pic.twitter.com/WXSQAULQAC

“ You have never lived until
You have almost died,
And for those who choose to fight,
Life has a special flavor,
The protected will never know!!! “ - Capt R Subramanium. #Armyday pic.twitter.com/AtCXY9psIx

खुशनसीब हैं वो जो वतन पर मिट जाते हैं,
मरकर भी वो लोग अमर हो जाते हैं,
करता हूँ उन्हें सलाम ए वतन पे मिटने वालों,
तुम्हारी हर साँस में तिरंगे का नसीब बसता है. 🇮🇳 जय हिन्द जय भारत @adgpi pic.twitter.com/Fe69CsUb1W
