Very interesting article.
It mentions the name of a person I have some familiarity with, Flight Lieutenant Syed Safi Mustafa (shaheed) S.J. There is a squadron named after him in one of the PAF`s cadet training institutions (quite a big honor). Anyone interested in him can go to http://www.pafmuseum.com.pk/contents/sh71smustafa.htm.
If you go to this page, you will see something interesting in the left hand column. There is a list titled, ``71 Shuhuda.`` Prominent in this list are two Christians, Wg. Cdr. Meryn Middlecoat and Sqn. Ldr. Peter Christie. The former is one of only two or three officers in the PAF to get two Sitara-i-Jurats. Apparetly, he is also the Shaheed of the week at the PAF museum (also mentioned in this article). It is interesting and heartening to see that at least the PAF has not lost its traditions of treating all ethnicities and religions the same within its boundries, even though the rest of Pakistan seems to be losing this ideal.
I know quite a few ladies who lost their husbands in Pakistan`s various wars. I have always been a great admirer of their courage and patience. They are treated like VIPs within the circles of their husband`s colleagues. It is great to see someone who has already given her husband to Pakistan, give so much more.

On second thought... i think reply #1 was a bit rude!
I should have asked how we/I can help shabana...
Sorry about that!

Slink,
What can i say. Great work in disseminating such esoteric information about the good being done; no matter at such a miniscule scale.
Keep writing. Woh KGS wala comment aap ko aur kuch aur famous hastioun ko apply nahin karta. Hope you can see the humour in it. :)
