Salute o a Hero
by v hari on Jun 28, 2008 08:49 PM

Come on, fellow Indians, Let us salute this great hero. It is but rarely that such men walk the earth, lets create a record of sorts by paying the largest tribute ever to Sam Bahadur. I'll tell you all one instance which will speak volumes: The year was 1962, the Indian Army, following absolutely ridiculous orders and led by an uncouth Army Chief was in full retreat in the face of the advancing Chinese. Sam Manekshaw arrived at the scene to take chare of the North Eastern theatre of operations. His first words inspired a by then demoralized Army and NAtion at large to stand upto and give the enemy a bloody nose, which they did. His words were; GENTLEMEN, I HAVE ARRIVED. FROM NOW ON, THERE SHALL BE NO RETREAT, THE ONLY WAY IS FORWARD.


come on folks ,lets make this happen, send this to as many pple you know, lets make it a tribute and a prayer for him, for all to remember forever
