Since the creation of Pakistan, the Christian sons of the soil never hesitated to sacrifice their lives for the defense of the motherland.

They always stood shoulder to shoulder with their Muslim brethren to shed their blood for the noble cause of defending Pakistan.

So far 90+ Christians, including two officers, have sacrificed their lives for Pakistan from Pakistan Army alone, excluding Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Pakistan Navy. ——

Sepoy Anosh Rufun and Sepoy Haroon William also sacrificed their lives today for the motherland.
