Celebrate Defence Day 2025 with Hello Salam —history, pride, and unity.
6 September – The Spirit of Defense Day
Every year on 6 September, Pakistan pays tribute to its valiant soldiers who defended the nation during the 1965 war. Known as Defense Day of Pakistan (Youm-e-Difa), this day is a symbol of unity, resilience, and patriotism. It reminds us that the security of our homeland comes first, and that the courage of our armed forces inspires the nation even today.
Defense Day is not just a remembrance of the past—it is a call to uphold the same strength and commitment in shaping Pakistan’s future.
The History Behind Defense Day
The story of 6 September goes back to 1965, when Pakistan’s armed forces bravely defended the country against aggression. Soldiers stood like a wall, proving that Pakistan’s sovereignty could never be compromised. From the battlefields of Lahore to the skies defended by the Pakistan Air Force, our heroes showed unmatched bravery.
This sacrifice is honored every year, reminding us of the true spirit of patriotism and unity.
How Pakistan Celebrates Defense Day
Defense Day is marked by flag-raising ceremonies, parades, special programs, and tributes across the country. Families, schools, and communities come together to remember the martyrs (shuhada) and pray for the strength of Pakistan.
In cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, citizens witness military parades, air shows, and cultural events that display both Pakistan’s military strength and its unity as a nation.
Hello Salam has always celebrated national events with pride. Earlier this year, our Jashn-e-Pakistan Family Expo brought families together to honor the nation’s heritage, and Defense Day is another opportunity to highlight our collective spirit.
Defense Day 2025 – Why It Matters Today
In 2025, Pakistan faces new challenges—economic, social, and technological. Yet, the message of Defense Day remains the same: unity and resilience can overcome all obstacles.
This is a day to remind ourselves that Pakistan’s defense is not just the responsibility of soldiers, but of every citizen. From strengthening our education system to supporting local businesses, every contribution adds to the progress of our nation.
