This day is important to us (Egyptians)
And i'd like you to know about it
"By all military measures, 6th of October war can be described, at least, as a military miracle" Anwar Al Saddat (The late Egyptian president during war) in October 16th, 1973.
If anyone carefully examined the incidents of 6th of October war, he would realize that Al Saddat and all his men at that time, such as Ahmed Ismail, the General Commander, Saad Al Shazley, the Chief Of Staff, and others, had bear the burden of war during very difficult circumstances. On the economic level, Egypt was suffering from extreme spreading poverty due to the consequent wars and its losses. While on the military level, Egypt’s circumstances would not have bear another defeat after what happened in the War of 1967 and the massacre, which the Egyptian Military forces were exposed at that time. Therefore, regardless of these great people's mistakes which were done unintentionally, or for political reasons, we have to greet them for the great achievement, which have engraved by their hands and souls in the page of our history.
