As VJ Day 80 nears, we honour Naik Gian Singh VC of the 15th Punjab Regiment. In Burma, 2 March 1945, wounded yet undaunted, he single-handedly stormed enemy positions, destroyed an anti-tank gun, and led his men to victory — courage that earned the Victoria Cross. #sikh#vjday80x.com/SikhMilitaryFdn/status…

We have to take concussion protocols seriously as coaches, teachers and especially parents.
