Students participated in the celebrations wearing different attire. While some were dressed in school uniforms, others wore army fatigues, reflecting their admiration for the armed forces. A sense of patriotism was clearly visible on every child’s face.
A Child’s Dream to Become an Army Officer Touches Hearts
One father who had come to drop his child shared an emotional moment. He said his son dreams of becoming an army officer. To encourage him, he bought an army uniform for the celebration.
