Motto of the Indian Armed Forces (the motto that Lt. Nawang lived and died by) The safety, honour & welfare of your country comes first, always & every time. The honour, welfare & comfort of the men you command come next. Your own ease, comfort & safety come last, always & every time.
Death be not Proud Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so, For, those, whom thou think’st thou doth overthrow, Die not, poor death. John Donne (1571-1631)
Lest we Forget They shall not
grow old, Lest we forget.
Bhagwat Gita, Chapt X. shlok 41 (Radhakrishna) Whatsoever being there is, endowed with glory and grace and vigour, know that to have sprung from a fragment of My splendour. While all things are supported by God, things of beauty of splendour reveal Him more than others. Every deed of heroism, every life of sacrifice, every work of genius, is a revelation of the Divine. The epic moments of a man’s life are inexplicably beyond the finite mind of man.
Great Deeds Great deeds cannot die: They with the sun and moon renew their light forever, blessing those that look on them.
Die in Combat Zone If I die in combat zone Box me up and send me home Pin my medals to my chest Tell my mom I did my best
