On January 6, 2014, 15-year-old Aitzaz Hassan Bangash sacrificed his life to save hundreds of students in Hangu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, by stopping a suicide bomber outside his school. His selfless act of bravery made him a national hero, earning the Sitara-e-Shujaat award. Aitzaz's bravery was outstanding. His sacrifice not only saved lives, but also served as a beacon of hope in Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts. Unfortunately, his courageous act receives little attention today, with few news outlets or social media platforms highlighting his martyrdom on January 6. The government ought to declare January 6 as a national day of courage in his honour, ensuring that his bravery is remembered in Pakistan's history and educational curriculum. Aitzaz's legacy must be kept as a strong reminder of how great heroism can inspire an entire nation. Pakistan will never forget this young hero.
