Respect to you Ritigahapola aiya . He is the first soldier I knew. I grew up cross the road from his house which my parents rented off his parents in late 80s and I may be only 5 years old at that time. My brother and I used to love visiting his house and I can vividly remember his mum ( I called her Ritigahapola auntie) making us delicious food . I will always hold in my mind the taste of her cooking. I was completely inspired and in awe of this man. I always used to tell my parents when I grow up I want to join the Army because of him. I still remember him shooting coconuts in the garden. My favourite thing was to go and see his mums display cabinet which was full of his achievements in the Army . Never seen so many medals, trophies and certificates in my whole life. I loved staring at all his army photos of him too. It so nice to see you here after a very long time aiya. Glad to see you are still achieving and inspiring people on your life's journey. Kind regards, Bhathiya 🙂
