Does our President (C-in-C) honour our heroes?

Wonder if any Supreme Commander in India would ever do such things here?
Dear All,
I am forwarding this link below with my personal comments. When you read the address by the President of USA does it not strike a discordant cord that in our country not one of our Presidents (The C-inC) nor anyone else have ever bothered to honour the heroes with such a touching speech ? I wish we had had at least one top soul who openly expressed the anguish or appreciation of the departed heroes.
It is only the comrades of the fallen who know what the sacrifice means.
I leave it to you to ponder.
With regards,
Harwant Singh
Lt Gen (Retd)
Former Deputy Chief of Army Staff
