Our Heroes!
Our Heroes–Men of Steel
Faiza Zahid
..and if we don’t come back tell them we have sacrificed our today for their tomorrow…
Being daughter of a soldier means that the passion for patriotism runs with the blood in the veins.
You are brought up with a sense of responsibility and the aim of protecting the motherland no matter what. During childhood, the sheer dedication and devotion for the country was beyond my apprehension. I could not understand how someone can love the country more than his children, more than his family and more than his life. The wait for the moment of glory and the moment of shahadat was un-fathomable and immeasurable for me. The motivational stickers that decorated the family car always made me wondering about the courageous soldiers who are ready to defend the borders of Pakistan at the cost of their own lives. These stickers and posters spoke of the very promises that these soldiers make when they join the Pakistan Armed Forces. The promises of defending the Pak Land from every threat, promises to up keep the national interests, promises not to hesitate in spilling their blood, promises of vigilance, professionalism and love of the country. And they have fulfilled these promises by writing their tales with blood.
It seems un-imaginable to consider how any one could not fear death and be willing to offer even his life for the sake of the country. But the legendary heroic stories of our gallant men reviving the same promises again and again enlighten us with the spirit of our soldiers. These men are driven by the extreme desire of shahadat.
Whether our borders threatened by the enemy or the danger from internal elements; our lions of
Armed Forces write their stories of valour in mortal peril to stand against any menace and danger. They serve as a wall of protection, as a shield taking all the blows to themselves and keeping us safe. These men of Pakistan Armed Forces are writing their own stories of unmatched bravery and

    Throughout American history, our military has been made up of very diverse people. From rich to poor, strong to weak, with all sorts of race and religions, we see this organization that fights and wins wars. They hold the frontlines, protecting this country, and can arguably be seen as the muscle of the United States. The people in the military are also seen as heroes, murderers and many things, but with politics and opinions set aside, I want to take this time to analyze the military with a literary viewpoint. I plan to break down the logistics of military communication, and show how they form a discourse community.…

    World War 2

    John Morton Blum retiree of Yale University depicts “combat soldiers as largely disconnected from the geopolitical goals articulated by President Roosevelt.” Each soldier had his own individual motivation entering into the war but all had the same reason to win the war, to make it home. Home was what encouraged the troops to fight. The Saturday Evening Post ran a series asking soldiers what they were fighting for, they were quoted saying “I am fighting for that big house with the bright green roof and the big front lawn”...“that girl with the large brown eyes and the reddish tinge in her hair.” Blum describes the GI as a homely hero, the common good man and the peoples' hero. The soldiers had no visible purpose but winning the war so that he could return to comfort.…

    I did not want to die. Not ever” (44). It is known that death could be the outcome of going to war, and many of these young soldiers do not want to die. Even though many soldiers end up going to war anyway, they are still fearful of death being a possible outcome for them. All of this fear and anxiety associated with war ultimately leads most people to view death in a negative light. It is definitely something that soldiers want to avoid, and even if they are not killed, death still has negative affects on them.…

    Patience, armed forces, economic expenses, and strength will be needed in the war thrust upon our shoulders. Yet, the sacrifices we would otherwise make are far greater. Without this fight for justice and freedom, we would give up the preconceived destiny set up by our ancestors and the previous safety and confidence in this country. The private pain felt by the families who lost someone is unimaginable. Our children are now fearful that this event will repeat itself, taking another family member. They deserve a calm life full of hope. The safety of generations of children, not just our own, are at stake. A fourth grade girl recently wrote to the President, "As much as I don't want my dad to fight, I'm willing to give him to you." She knows the importance of our mission, and the cost that ensures her…

    Stereotypes In Iwo Jima

    • 2709 Words
    • 11 Pages

    In the span of our existence, humans have always seen soldiers and war veterans as higher than man. Though this is evident in our culture today, we have also realized that those who return come back in different forms. A war veteran is seen as someone with endless amount of courage and infinite power of will. We see it all the time whether it’s a picture, television ad displaying a soldier standing tall and holding their country’s flag proudly, or it’s the iconic picture taken in Iwo Jima (if you don’t know which one that is, it is the one of all the soldiers lifting the American flag on top of a hill). These representations are about pride, honor, courage, and everything great about the United States.…

    The war brings him to life. He is the dream of every American and Uncle Sam's best friend. He’s just like us but better: a professional fighter, an artist, a man driving a Chevrolet van, and even tried to be a chief of a great nation. A good-hearted man, yet everyone still left him. He surely is worthy enough to lift a God’s hammer, but a bullet still can easily kill him. He is the best, the strongest, and the greatest leader.…

    America's borders are the boundaries between the United States and the rest of the world. The massive flow of people and goods across our borders helps drive our economy, but can also serve as a welcome mat for terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, illegal migrants, and other unlawful things. The new threats and opportunities of the 21st century demand a new approach to border management.…

    When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world.…

    Veterans. For most people, the first word that pops into their minds is heroes. What are heroes? People who act like role models? Someone who chooses to do great deeds? We all think differently when it comes to veterans being a hero. But in my opinion, veterans live as our America's heroes. These are the souls that want to protect our citizens and fight for our freedom. We’re talking about the men who prepare most of their days, training how to be a better soldier and a skilled person out in the battlefield.…

    No one said being a soldier in the army was going to be a walk in the park. Being a soldier means you must have grit and guts and that you have to expect sacrifice. The Continental Army have been in Pennsylvania at Valley Forge since December 19, 1777, with the British only a few miles away in Philadelphia. We are suffering from all the horrible conditions, and many soldiers, since they have served their time, are leaving for home. I now have to make the final decision of either re-enlisting or leaving. I have thought long and hard, but I have decided to re-enlist, because healthy soldiers are needed, I still want to fight for my freedom, and because I want to support the inspiring General Washington.…
