Thanks for the special words TK. 
As Shahar mentioned, the way we celebrate our Memorial Day, in conjunction with Independence Day, is truly unique and special. We mourn our friends and fellow commands- the “silver plater” on which our state was given. 

Thank you for your role in assisting the defense of our special homeland, and for standing by our side. 

God bless.

Hi all

Those days always remind me my friends and my  brothers that didn't return back home and KIA. This year, cause of the Covid 19, we want be able to meet the family's and unfortunately it will be much harder for them.
And in 24 hours form now we will celebrate our freedom and  independence...it is hard but there is a connection between those days..without them there was no way to be the startup nation and independent.

I am glad to serve my country and honored working with you all

Thank you and keep safe
