Dear Veterans,
The nation will commemorate 13th anniversary of Kargil Divas marking India's victory over the Pakistani intruders who attempted to infiltrate India in 1999. Indian armed forces drove out Pakistani intruders who were occupying Kargil and Drass. But the victory came at a heavy price as 527 soldiers lost their lives and over 1300 were injured.
To commemorate the historic day and to honour the 527 brave martyrs of India, Flags of Honour Foundation will pay homage to the men and women who laid their lives for the nation. Flags of Honour Foundation has organized a Walkathon – a walk by citizens to pay homage to the martyrs will be flagged off by Former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde at the Victoria statue and will walk through Cubbon, Ambedkar Veedhi, Raj Bhavan Road before reaching National Military Memorial Park on the Chowdaiah Road ( opposite to Nehru Planetarium.)
More than 600 citizens including school and college students will participate in this walk that will conclude at the National Military Memorial.
We request you to please join the Walkathon and pay your respects to the brave who have laid down their lives for us. Please find attached a poster detailing out the events.
Venue: Victoria Statue, Cubbon Park
Date: 26th July, 2012
