The martyrdom of the 40 CRPF soldiers has shaken the nation. Our eyes are wet and till date its revenge that we desire. Sadly this was the biggest act of terrorism but if we see the figures of the soldiers who in the three years have laid down their lives for the protection and honor of our motherland.
The last three years many young officers and soldiers from the armed forces martyred in the valley fighting the terrorist. Our heart goes with them and there are no words that can comfort the family who has lost their near and dear ones.
The officers who were martyred had small kids here are few such stories were the fathers could not contribute in the upbringing of their child and have left the journey incomplete as their love for the nation comes first to them.
