Republic Day

He lays down his life for us. What, really, is his reward? A posthumous award? His grieving, stoic widow? His orphaned child staring at his photograph? Can anything really compense a lost life? What patriotism can make a man do! I salute each man who has sacrificed his life to protect each of ours. I owe my life to each of you. Jai Hind!

couldnt agree more... how often I've wondered what motivates a soldier to keep going... knowing fully well what fate awaits himself and his survivors... No amount of romanticizing his profession will make his lot any different. I guess the least we can do is say an honest "Thank you".
