Re: Lt. Colonel Haroon al Islam martyred by Lal Masjid Goondas
That’s a beautiful comment PCG!
He definitely did, only a golden soul can lay down life for others this easily.
I cant even imagine how damn proud his subordinate officers and men would be. Once again I wish I were in uniform so i could Salute another brave son of Pakistan, a great man, with all my heart and strength!
:Salute:
The red outline on his SSG wings shows he was a master HALO jumper too!
He was also a Command & Staff Qualified officer.
Must be only 39 yrs old as he was commissioned in 1988 probably at the std age of 20. That might mean he probably belonged to somewhere between the 74-76th PMA Long Course…? What a brilliant career officer.
This is what character is all about. This is what martyrdom, Shahadat, Imaan, Jihad, leadership, leading from the front is all about.
Battalion Commanders are not reqd to be at the very front, they have an avg of 800 men under their command along with other highly capable Coy Cdrs, Platoon Cdrs, but real men create history, lead from the front by exmaple and become legends!
