Respectful tributes are important, but I hope this translates into concrete action. Are we doing enough for soldiers' families and veterans in terms of healthcare, pensions, and rehabilitation? The 'Honour Run' is a nice gesture, but policy follow-through matters more.

Salute to the bravehearts! Every time I see our soldiers on the borders in documentaries, I feel a surge of pride. They face conditions we can't even imagine. Events like these help keep their spirit alive in the public consciousness. Well done, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand.

My father served in the Army. Days like Armed Forces Flag Day mean a lot to families like ours. It's not just about the soldiers, but the entire ecosystem of sacrifice. Glad to see it being marked with such respect. More power to our guardians.

Good sentiments from the CMs. But sometimes these feel like annual rituals. The true tribute would be if every citizen, from politicians to common people, internalized this respect in their daily conduct and supported schemes for soldiers year-round.

As someone living abroad, I always admire how India honors its armed forces. The 'Honour Run' is a powerful community event. It's a reminder of the unity and respect that binds the nation together in gratitude towards its protectors.
