4 Hero’s from Indian Army about whom you should tell story’s to your kids

Born in Pune, Maharashtra, was an officer of the Indian Army and a posthumous recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military decoration for valour in face of the enemy. In 1971 he charged at the enemy in multiple operations. In the famous last battle, he knew both the tanks alongside him – one commanded by Capt Ahlawat and the other by Maj Malhotra were non-operational due to enemy fire. The Commanding Officer of Poona Horse, the brave Col Hanut Singh had ordered no tanks will withdraw an inch so that the enemy does not think Indians are scared. Arun Khetarpal knew only his tank was operational. He continued to fire at the enemy and destroyed three Pakistani tanks. His own tank was on fire. His superior officer Maj Malhotra told him to withdraw. He said: ‘No sir, my gun is still firing. I will get these bastards.’ And he did. He destroyed one more Pakistani tank before making the supreme sacrifice of his life.  Source .

When the enemy acknowledges your bravery what can be better than that?
