I am happy to know that the National War Memorial at 'C' Hexagon of India Gate is being dedicated to the nation on 25th February 2019.
The memorial will commemorate the gallant soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty in order to keep our nation safe. The National War Memorial will have pride of place in the Central Vista of New Delhi and will inspire in every Indian a sense of patriotism and the spirit of sacrifice for the nation.
On this special day, I salute the brave soldiers of our Armed Forces, both past and present, for their exemplary sense of professionalism and service to the nation.

The dedication of the National War Memorial is a historic moment for the nation. Through this memorial, a grateful nation pays homage to all those brave hearts who made the supreme sacrifice for the nation since Independence. Generations to come will remember the valorous deeds of these great men and women.
For decades there has been a demand for a National War Memorial and I am glad that with the blessings of the people, the National War Memorial has become a reality.
The National War Memorial, which will always occupy a central place in the heart of every Indian, is located in the heart of the national capital, near India Gate. Coming to the National War Memorial will be no less than a pilgrimage for crores of Indians. It will also further the spirit of unity, patriotism and belongingness among people.
I salute the courage of each and every person who has served and is serving our country, protecting the nation so that 130 crore Indians can sleep in peace and breathe the air of freedom. I also owe to the families of those associated with the Armed Forces for their unparalleled fortitude.
I also take this opportunity to appreciate all those who toiled to build the National War Memorial in remarkable time. May this memorial always inspire and motivate the people of India in the years to come.
Jai Hind !
