The man who slept
In the freezing ice
Woke up to gift us a smile.
But then he left
Like the sun at sunset
May be to find some rest.
So, let us now salute
The young fearless warrior
Who guarded our inhospitable frontiers.
Let us also spare a thought
For our men in uniform
While we raise the Independence Day flag at home.
A great tribute to Lance Naik Hanumanthappa Koppad. Yes, it was a miracle that he survived but finally died in hospital itself.
A great tribute to a martyr and a stern warning to the complacent citizens of an unfortunate land who take their freedom for granted. Well done, Rajesh-ji. (10)
Sparing a thought in uniformity and celebrating Independence day matter a lot. This Freedom gives unlimited joy really. Interesting sharing...10

An heartfelt tribute to a true son of this country who sacrificed his life for the sake of our mother land. Emotions captured quite nicely. Thanks, Ramesh ji.
