He followed his father's and brother's footsteps as his father and elder brother served as Indian Gurkhas and his middle brother is serving with Indian Gurkhas as a Sergeant.
His family members stated that they are very proud of him and that Vijay was very proud to be a Gurkha.
Military officials describe him as tough, loyal, uncomplaining, utterly professional and deeply committed.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Vijay Rai is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
