Fallen Israeli Soldiers Rememberance Day

Today is a very important day to me. I was not sure whether I wanted to congratulate anybody or give any sense of well wishing or even mention Passover or Norouz (Persian New Years). I do not know why I did not feel like writing anything about those events that are big part of my background. However, when it came to today, I just had to write something. Today is a day of remembering fallen Israeli soldiers. Every year, it is a special day, but this year there is something different about it. This year, it is after Lebanon 2nd War of last summer. Therefore I decided to dedicate this article to the fallen soldiers of last summer’s war. (Don’t get me wrong, I still have outmost respect for all the fallen soldiers.)

The movie clip above is the faces of the soldiers who died in Lebanon last summer. They are just faces of regular Israeli citizens who were called to combat. They are just average workers, students, husbands, fathers, and …. There is something innocent about them as oppose to the faces for example suicide bombers who make tapes before they kill themselves. When I sent this clip to my mom, she burst out crying and she does not even know these guys. The only explanation is that we’re all Jews and we all share the pain together with the families of these soldiers. May they rest in peace!
