The Armed Forces Flag Day is an occasion to pay our tributes towards the courage and dedication of our Armed Forces in defending our country.
Every year since 1949, 7th December is observed as Armed Forces Flag Day throughout the country to honour the valiant soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation. It is also a day to remember and honor the widows and children of these brave soldiers, who have been left behind while their loved ones safeguarded our freedom. The A & N Islands will also observe this day as per tradition, with deep respect and commitment.
To Mark this occasion, Rajya Sainik Board, Sri Vijaya Puram will be distributing Flag Day stickers and token flags in exchange of generous voluntary donations to Armed Forces Flag Day Fund. The fund is meant for rehabilitation, welfare of soldiers, veterans, and families of servicemen who have lost their lives in service to the nation.
On this occasion, of the Armed Forces Flag Day 2024, I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to all Armed Force Personnel, veterans and their families. I also urge all Islanders to contribute to the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund as a gesture of solidarity towards our brave Armed Force Personnel & their families.
