Soldiers saluting the Israeli Flag: “We Remember and Honor our fighting men and women and ..WE SALUTE YOU!”
An Army of Cats and Hamsters: “Even now… secret forces are gathering against the storm of those who would try to destroy the defenders of the free world. Those forces strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. On Land.. and ”
A Navy of Sharks as far as the eye can see…:”in the sea!”
A squadron of Birds fly over the Kottel:”And in the sky!” “We now are waiting for Moshiach!”

“The coming into being of a Jewish state in Palestine is an event in world history to be viewed in the perspective, not of a generation or a century, but in the perspective of a thousand, two thousand, or even three thousand years.” (Winston Churchill)

Yom HaZikaron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yom Hazikaron (Hebrew: יום הזכרון לחללי מערכות ישראל ולנפגעי פעולות האיבה‎, lit. Israeli Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Remembrance Day) is Israel’s official Memorial Day. Yom Hazikron is the day on which Israel honors its fallen servicemen and women. National memorial services are held in the presence of Israel’s top leadership and military personnel. The day opens the preceding evening at 20:00 (8:00 pm), given that in the Hebrew calendar system days begin at sunset, with a siren. The siren is heard all over the country and lasts for one minute, during which Israelis stop everything (including driving, which stops highways) and stand in silence, commemorating the fallen and showing respect. Many national-religious Jews say prayers for the souls of the fallen soldiers at this time as well. The official ceremony to mark the opening of the day takes place at the Western Wall, at which time the flag of Israel is lowered to half staff.
