    Congratulation Tahir Rafique,

    From a friend of a bygone era dating back to the times of Central Model School Lower Mall Lahore Pakistan.

    Congrats and best wishes to your family.

    Please convey my regards to Shahzad Ashraf if he is still around.

    BEST WISHES AND VERY WARM REGARDS

    What exactly did he do to deserve this medal? Did he stop drone attacks? Did he intercept US invasion of abbottabad? Has he protected Pakistan's air space? Oh I get it. He is loyal to zardari instead of Pakistan.
