In his interview as part of the documentary, the President said, “The President’s Bodyguard displays the best traditions of discipline and skills of our Armed Forces. Their flawless turnout and impressive bearing speak for the heritage of our country, and our Armed Forces.”
“But behind their skills, while standing erect or on horse-back, is years of hard work and the relentless pursuit of perfection. These are untiring, dedicated and brave soldiers – as good as the best in the world. I am very proud of them,” Kovind added.
