Well deserving awards.
More soldiers have died in this "war on terror & war on extremism" than in any of Pakistan's previous wars.

i was hoping more coverage, for example, detailed stories of valor as read out during the award ceremony on an episode basis in the newspapers .. photos of martyrs .. things that would boost the national moral and give everyone a sense of pride ..
