The Armed Forces Flag Day is a occasion to pay tribute to the courage and dedication of our soldiers and acknowledge with gratitude their valour and service to our country.

I appeal to all my fellow citizens to contribute generously to the Armed Forces Flag Day fund. These voluntary donations will be a gesture of support for the families of our serviceman who have retired and those who have made the supreme sacrifices with their lives for the nation.

I extend my warm greeting and best wishes to all members of our armed forces and their families and wish them greater glory and happiness in the years ahead.
