Dear Jalal Hameed Bhatti: Asslam Alikum:
What a pleasure it is to see,visit and enjoy the 55th PMA Long Course website, but it's amazing and mind blowing the amount of work you have done on your other 5 web sites. It clearly shows your love and dedication towards Pakistan and 55 family. Jalal! I know we all keep praising your good work as you are the man behind the gun, keeping us in communication, no matter where we are in around the world...............is'nt that amazing. You cannot imagine how we feel sitting thousands of miles away, but you make us part of every occasion and event. Jalal Dear, During this difficult time when no one cares for others, people don't like to talk to each other without personal interests and financial gains, we fully understand finding time to do all this noble job for 55th family and the Service to the Nation is a JOB WELL DONE. I would request all coursemates to please pray for good health, wealth and happiness of Jalal Hameed Bhati for his great Services.Also appreciate and say thanks to the family who patiently allow Jalal to dedicate time for this job. Jalal i would also request to add another Section in 55th websites "55th Abroad"/"55th Overseas""55th Arround the Globe" whatever,but this section may include all our coursemates abroad to bridge the gap. In Canada,We have Naveed Akbar khalid,Vincent Samual,Tahir Khan,Shahid Aslam(to be),Tariq Zaidi (to be), Shahaid Awan (still no contact) and Muhammad Jamil Akhtar (me)

We recently had a get together when Zahir Khan visited Toronto Canada on a very short visit. Tahir Khan arranged a lavish,5 star dinner and we all shared good old times and had so much to talk and share, we also connected Iltaf from USA on line and included him virtually. Zahir left with a promise to be back next year. In USA we have Iltaf, Gilani, Haroon ..................... I have also been thinking of having a Course Get together at Niagra Falls Canada. This the world's best Honeymoon spot but equally popular amongst Retireess.....!!!!!!!! I can assure you enjoy every moment spent at Niagara, please don't mix it with Viagra. But it does have the kind of affect too, rather much more healthier, soothing and smooching. People with all kind of poor heart and ........,conditions must visit its natural healing...now don't say you know why Zahir Khan visits every year.....still so young...not me ask him.  Jamil Canada

I am grateful to Jamil (Canada) for his very detailed comments and appreciation that I do not deserve (thank you so much, Jamil). I am also thankful to Zahir Khan, Shahid Aslam, Muhammad Asif, Tariq Fazal, Iqbal Badar and Islam ul Haq for appreciating the new face of the course website.
