He said that our brave armed forces rose to every challenge in the past and the nation is confident that if need be, they will do everything to secure our independence and our set of traditions and values and our way of life. He said that the soldiers and officers of the armed forces wrote heroic chapters of bravery during the wars of 1948, 1965 and 1971.
