A two Minute Silence to those Soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice



Lest we forget why they died defending the nation.. Appreciate the freedom we have. May we never take it for granted.

Quote excerpts from a speech President Barack Obama gave at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention on August 17, 2009:
“And our nation owes these Americans -- and all who have given their lives – a profound debt of gratitude… And as always, the thoughts and prayers of every American are with those who make the ultimate sacrifice in our defence… We will fulfil our responsibility to our veterans as they return to civilian life… Whether you've left the service in 2009 or 1949, we will fulfil our responsibility to deliver the benefits and care that you earned… These are commitments that we make to the patriots who serve – from the day they enlist to the day that they are laid to rest…”

Do these sentiments apply to Soldiers in India?
