Pakistan’s remembering a real hero today, Naik Zafar Iqbal.
This soldier wasn’t messing around when terrorists hit Lucky Marwat back in December. He fought like crazy to protect everyone but sadly ended up giving his life.
Everyone’s heartbroken for his wife and kids back in Gujranwala. They say he was an amazing husband and dad, who always made the most of their time together. Especially Eid – those visits home were the best, but now they’ll never be the same. Still, they’re bursting with pride for him giving his all for Pakistan.
Naik Zafar Iqbal’s brothers and sisters remember his guts too, and how close he was to his army buddies. Joining the army was his lifelong dream, and he finally made it happen, even though it meant the biggest sacrifice.
Naik Zafar Iqbal’s story is a tough one, but it shows how brave our soldiers are. He’ll inspire future generations to be just as fearless and love Pakistan as much as he did. Even in their grief, Naik Zafar Iqbal’s family still supports the army. They even hope their son might grow up to be a soldier someday, carrying on his dad’s legacy of courage and service.
