The Armed Forces Flag Day is observed every year in the memory of our valiant soldiers who laid down their lives for the Nation. The Day is commemorated every year since 1949 to mark the solidarity of the Nation with our soldiers. The Nation owes a huge debt of gratitude to them for their contribution during internal as well as external threats of insurgency and terrorism. This is an occasion for the citizens of the country to recognize and pay tribute to our Armed forces for their supreme sacrifices. It is also a befitting occasion to express our gratitude to the valiant combatants by way of generous contributions towards "The Armed Forces Flag Day Fund."
