ODE TO FORCE

Many unsung, mostly forgotten,many many fallen.....here stand our heroes humble,with heads square on their able and strong shoulders with many victories at their feet. Men in uniform fighting terror, natural calamities, wars, their social status, their family problems and many....all with broad smiles on their faces, they take pride of being in the family of olive green. These bravados, these gladiators are up standing there right on the line of danger, in the very line of fire...24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...come hail, come storm, bullets or shells...they stand.....these magnificent men stand upright.....there....to meet hell or heaven, devil or death, head on looking into the eyes of the enemy who is set to breach the walls of our country and crush them to dust. " Tan mein Vindhyachal ka bal hai, mann mein Tajmahal hai.....", said a poet referring to these daredevils. These epitomes of sacrifice lay down their lives without a word on their lips and thought in their mind for their love towards their fellow countrymen and for our motherland.But then,the old man's saying goes" Gods and Soldiers are only remembered in time of need. Once need is fulfilled and danger conquered, Gods are forgotten and soldiers slighted." Hey friends, remember, " when you go back to your homes, tell the people that we gave our today for your tomorrow" says our epitaph. Do bow down your heads once a year for these impeccable valiant superheroes.
WE DESERVE IT....Don't we?

They'd promised their families they'd come back soon. They more than kept their word. Went as mere men. Came back as heroes....

Absolutely ...THEY GAVE THEIR TODAY FOR OUR TOMORROW....

SALUTE ALL THE HEROES WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING(Parents,Children,Relatives,Friends,Happiness.....etc) FOR OUR HAPPINESS.....
