6 September 1965 – History that makes us Proud

September 6, 1965 was a day when the whole Pakistani nation along with their valiant military forces stood up against the enemy with unity and belief in our just cause. Major Aziz Bhatti Shaheed (Nishan-i-Haider), who successfully defended the strategic BRB canal near Lahore for five days before embracing shahadat after being hit by an enemy’s tank shell on September 10, 1965. Squadron Leader MM Alam who shot five enemy aircrafts in less than a minute on September 7th, and the daring attack by Pakistan Navy on the Indian Naval base at Dwarka mirror not only the valiance and excellence of our armed forces but also the resolve of the entire nation to stand up to a five times larger enemy.

We salute our heroes.
