हर साल 7 दिसंबर को देश में ‘सशस्त्र सेना झंडा दिवस’ यानि आर्म्ड फोर्सेज फ्लैग डे मनाया जाता है। साल 1947 में भारत आजाद हुआ तो भारत सरकार ने सैनिकों और उनके परिवार की देखभाल के लिए भी एक फंड बनाने की सोची ताकि उन्हें कोई परेशानी न हो। इसीलिए 28 अगस्त 1948 को एक कमिटी बनाई गई जिसमें तब के रक्षामंत्री भी शामिल थे और तय किया गया कि हर वर्ष 7 दिसंबर को ‘सशस्त्र सेना झंडा दिवस’ मनाया जाएगा और सैनिकों के परिवार को आर्थिक मदद दी जाएगी। इस विशेष दिन पर प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी ने भी देश के बहादुर जवानों को याद किया और ट्विटर पर अपना अनुभव साझा किया है। आप भी पढ़िए-
