New Delhi: Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on December 7 made a token
contribution to the cause of the rehabilitation of ex-servicemen and families of
those who sacrificed their lives for the country.
A four-member delegation of the Kendriya Sainik Board led by its secretary Lokesh K
Batra visited the Prime Minister's residence and pinned a flag on him on the
occasion of Armed Forces Flag Day.

and express solidarity with the Armed Forces. The contributions made to the Flag Day
fund are utilised by the Sainik Board for empowerment of widows, disabled soldiers,
