    The sacrifice of our brave soldiers and their dedication for guarding, protecting our Country will always be remembered.

    During my PUC/University in St. Aloysius College, I was NCC cadet naval wing for 3 years and the training received during that period in NCC is still very much alive and gave me a insight what one has to contribute to the nation and if required to give one's life for the nation.

    From the bottom of my heart, we appreciate this motor rally of Air Force ion Board, south division, headquartered at Mysore to commemorate its 50th anniversary. We are proud of our Air Force. God bless our soliders and their family as they are also part of the soldier family for their great sacrifice for our nation. Bravo to you all. Jai Hind.

    Excellant exhibition put up by the mighty Indian Air Force personnel.Definately present day youth should be motivated to join the Indian Defence forces as their career. This is a better chance to serve the nation when opportunity knocking at the door.One can reach at what one aims at and whish to achive in life.
    This is practical in my life.I joined in 1971 untill 1986.there after in civilian life reached good position with ample opportunities available to settle.
    Two of my children are today well settled with international fame.
