We salute the brave leaders of men, who with true grit and unrivalled gallantry led from the front of land, sea and air to strike terror in enemy heart and carved out victories against all odds. They made the supreme sacrifice when called for and died defending the honour and integrity of the motherland. Their saga of sacrifice will remain etching in letters of red and gold in the annuals of our nation?s history. Theirdeeds are stuff that legends are made of and their followers legion. Every cadet epitomizes the exemplary virtues displayed by their real life heroes. A grateful nation salutes its heroes and rejoice the passing of the mantle to future warriors?
