Gurkha Dipprasad Pun, who fought the Taliban has been presented the UK's second highest bravery medal by the Queen. He was very proud when receiving the medal. He said he thought he was going to die. He was sentry at night on the checkpoint and it was surrounded by Taliban. The Gurkha opened fire and the Taliban fired back. At one point his weapon failed, but the Gurkha never stopped fighting, he saved the life of three and he says he was never scared. The medal he received is the second highest bravery medal, the highest is the Victoria Cross.
When I read what this man did I was really impressed. It is incredible how one man can be so brave to fight with the Taliban alone. Even hearing him say that he was never scared impresses me. I cannot imagine having to stand there, eyes in eyes with the Taliban and not be scared. Some people have more courage than a whole group of people together. I cannot say other than I am impressed with this man. It is a good thing he got a medal, because I think that is only a small part of what he deserves. I am proud of the men protecting their home.
