Heart of Pakistan

[PattonJRJR]

Greetings,

I was deployed to Pakistan in 2005 I believe, there was a terrible earth quake and the US deployed a group to go help via a hospital etc. Anyway, apparently we were given a medal by the Pakistanis called something along the lines of "Bleeding heart of Pakistan" but I can't recall. Does anyone have any idea what that is, or if it is even real?

Well if you were active in helping the earthquake effected citizens a thank you is due but to answer the question the medal could have been, the 2005 were a very devastating time

Reference:
Decorations and Medals of Pakistan

What you may be referring to might be

Medal for Good Deeds (2005 Earthquake)
(Tamgha-e-Eissar) (2006) - Medal of Eissar - Medal of Sacrifice

or

Star for Good Deeds (2005 Earthquake)
(Sitara-e-Eissar) (2006) or Star of Eissar - Star of Sacrifice


Its stated that its offered to non Pakistani Nationals if they happen to do a great deed for benefit of Pakistan or its citizens

Welcome and behalf of Pakistanis on this forum, let me say thank you to you and your group who helped us out in that time of need.

We'd like to thank you for your efforts during that fateful period. It happened almost a decade ago, yet it seems like yesterday.

Please post the pictures of that medal or award if you can. We can identify its correct title.

Well its always good to run across someone that was deployed in Pakistan for the help during earth quake as it was very difficult time I recall the images were quite painful
