To all those who have given their lives to the service of our country I say thank you. Young men and women from all walks of life sign up to join the service branch of their choice. They leave their homes and families to prepare themselves to defend our country. Many return while some brave souls give their lives on the field of battle.

In this new year there is going to be change, it’s guaranteed. Life is about flux and fluidity. No matter what you do, I hope you will do it well in the coming days.
