A very difficult question to answer.We have had so many valiant men among our ranks that it would be unfair to single out any one particular person.

However if asked to name any person or persons it will definitely be all the man who were awarded the Paramveer Chakra.This however does not belittle the contributions of numerous others who fought for the country.

For me all army men are HEROES.
