A humble request from the people and the government of the country is to keep remembering these heroes
NOWSHERA: A hero is said to be a person who is admired for his or her noble qualities. Many people consider film stars and sports figures to be the heroes of the nation. However, the real heroes are those who serve or die for the nation, fulfil commitments, sacrifice wishes and fight with hardship. These attributes are present in the blood of soldiers. To become a soldier means to pass brutal training, learn combat skills, leave the family behind, and work in war zones. The spirit of these men and women is what drives them to serve and die for the country.
The reason we are safe and living free is made possible by these heroes. It needs a sound mind with a sound body to be a soldier, playing with their lives 24 hours a day. We should be proud to be a nation that brave families send their loved ones out to sacrifice. They don’t know whether they will see their dear ones again. In the process, many mothers lose their last hopes, many wives lose their husbands, and many children become orphaned. A humble request from the people and the government of the country is to keep remembering these heroes and their families whose sons served the nation.
