Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday extended greetings to the Armed Forces personnel on Armed Forces Flag Day, recognising “brave men and women who protect our nation with unwavering courage." PM Modi also urged people to donate to the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund (AFFDF) to show support for the armed forces personnel.

In a post on X, PM stated, “On Armed Forces Flag Day, we express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who protect our nation with unwavering courage. Their discipline, resolve and spirit shield our people and strengthen our nation. Their commitment stands as a powerful example of duty, discipline and devotion to our nation. Let us also contribute to the Armed Forces Flag Day fund."

Armed Forces Flag Day has been observed across the country on December 7 since 1949, to honour the men in uniform who fought and continue to fight on India’s borders.

Flag Day highlights India’s commitment to caring for our war-disabled soldiers, Veer Naris, and the families of martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the nation.

“Soldiers are one of the greatest assets of any country. They are the guardians of the nation and protect its citizens at all costs. To fulfil their duties, soldiers have sacrificed a lot of things in their lives," said the Ministry of Defence in an earlier statement.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also extended greetings to the Armed Forces personnel on this day.

“On Armed Forces Flag Day, I salute the valour and sacrifices of our armed forces. Their courage safeguards our nation, and their selfless service reminds us of a debt we can never repay. I urge everyone to contribute generously to the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund. Your support honours their dedication and strengthens those who protect us," the Defence Minister posted on X.
