Dear Captain Soziano -- Good afternoon from Washington, DC. I'm Professor Adam Oler from National War College, the faculty leader for a group of 9 U.S. students planning travel to Israel from March 31st until April 4th. I was referred to you by my friend and colleague, Dr. Josh Krasna, who I understand was in contact with you last week.
I led a similar trip to Israel in 2017, and we had the opportunity to work closely with INDC both in preparing for the trip, and while in Israel. Among other activities, we were able to hold a seminar and combined student meetings on your campus, which my students found extremely informative. We also met with a number of your students while on their U.S. trip later that spring. During our visit we also visited the Golan and Metula with INDC's assistance as well. Our students are particularly interested in Israel's security challenges to its north--several are writing papers on Hezbollah.
If possible, our student trip lead -- Mr. Bruce Lichtman -- and I would appreciate the chance to confer with you, and discuss potential coordination with our visit. Our itinerary is wide open, as we hope to speak with you before locking anything in.
Thank you very much Captain Soziano. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best/Adam Oler
