"The young men who chose to stay... ".
It was the first days of the war. The artillery corps was just forming, and many of the captured artillery pieces were damaged and in need of repair. Resources were scarce, and there were not enough skilled personnel to handle such a daunting task.
But Hassan Muqadam knew something had to be done - and it had to start somewhere.
Several young, technically skilled and enthusiastic people stepped forward, including Reza Mustafai, Majid Nabab, Ali Ghamari and Seyed Majid Mousavi. They set out to set up artillery repair and maintenance from scratch.
Working with limited tools, they toiled day and night. Sometimes, they would spend hours in the hut just to learn how to repair a single cannon. Some even spent the night behind a truck in Dezpol, wrapped in a blanket, so they could return to training at dawn.
Hassan believed in them. He knew they were facing a tough road, but he was convinced that with motivation and determination, they could achieve great things despite all the hardships.
