Bravissimo, Gershon, on a poignant and soul stirring poem on the tragedy of young Israeli soldiers fallen in battle. A sobering reminder of what ultimate sacrifice they made with many widows and children struggling to pick up the pieces after their husband's and fathers deaths. Am Yisrael Chai!

So many will go after a few. No one left behind. Such should be human nature. Our hope relies upon knowing someone is coming.

Heroes they all are Gershon and each should be recognized and remembered. The Brave men and women who paid the ultimate price for their Country and their citizens. My prayers go out to their families who have to deal with this awful tragedy. Thank you for sharing...

Hi Gershon, hopefully liberation is not to far away.

Maybe not, thanks to DJT's mere presence... Looks like the wars in the ME are going to wind down soon -- at least until the next time the terrorist snakes unleash their toxic venom.

I sure hope you are right, Tom. Too often, 'twas mostly for naught! ~ gw
