Son,
The
brave way you left this world, at the age of 22 is a measure of
how you lived your short life and what you valued. In meeting
the stark challenges of capturing Knoll against all odds, during
the battle of Three Pimples with heroic coolness and single minded
devotion to duty, you have achieved immortal honour. In death
you have epitomised the spirit of national pride - an honour which
makes every sacrifice worthwhile. Your actions will forever inspire
generations of Indians to come. You have left us with pride for
being the parents of a worthy son and a lifetime of pain for having
lost a child we loved.
-- Col.
