On Defence & Martyrs Day, we pay solemn tribute to the valiant members of our Armed Forces who defended the motherland with exceptional courage and sacrifice on 6 September 1965. Their bravery, steadfastness and devotion to duty remain an enduring source of pride and inspiration for the nation. We also honour our Shuhada and Ghazis and salute their families for their immeasurable sacrifices in the service of Pakistan.
