Dying for one’s homeland

Letter August 01, 2013
Brave men die defending their country. Major Zeeshan Suddle did just that, gave his life defending his homeland.

TAMPA, FL, US: This is with reference to Fahd Mahmood Khan’s article “Remembering my brave friend, Major Zeeshan (August 1). Brave men die defending their country. Major Zeeshan Suddle did just that and gave his life defending his honour and his homeland. Our hearts go out to his young wife, who did not want her husband to go out when the attacks started but being a soldier, his turf under attack, Zeeshan had to go and fight. Major Suddle paid the ultimate price of life to defend his motherland.

Our enemies may martyr a few brave souls but they cannot kill the resolve of a nation that wants to rid itself of the menace of terrorism. These desperate suicide attacks and killings show that the enemy is frustrated. We have to work together and not slow down our offensive against these cowards.
