There’s a certain emotion associated with uniforms – a sense of patriotism. For soldiers, it definitely means even more. This is exactly why a soldier’s tweet, on wearing his uniform for the last time is winning hearts on Twitter. Lt Gen KJS Dhillon worked for peace in Kashmir in Chinar Corps. He tweeted an image where he’s seen wearing his combat uniform, before his retirement and added how it’s nostalgic for him – and Twitterati is in awe of the moment.
What A Journey of Honour and Zimmewari

I wept like a child, the day I had to deposit back my overalls. It isn’t a part of you, it’s you. Am I right sir

Thanks Sir for all that you’ve done, many have worn the Combats n the OG, but few have done it as well as you. Namak n mitti ka karz ada karne ka andaaz koi aapse seekhe. The Nation shall always remember your immortal lines Sir, n generations will grow up idolising you, Jai Hind

You have spent a life that we dream of! That uniform & all other honours you have earned. No one can buy it from market!
India is proud of you… We love you & respect you sir! #JaiHind #Vandemataram! Thank u sir for everything!
I am filled with mixed feelings. One side it’s safest pairs of hands that safeguarded us for long time parting ways n other side a dear family member is proudly setting aside for next gen to take up the role. I will wait for #waheguru to guide you to next best thing. Blessings
