Tonight begins Memorial Day.  There will be the sounding of a siren throughout the country at 8 pm.  Everyone stands at attention for the duration of the sounding.  It is very moving to see cars stopped on highways and in towns with the people standing outside of their cars in honor of the fallen Soldiers.  There ceremonies held throughout the country.  Our son will be on his base for their ceremony. There is always a very moving broadcast on television as well.

Please pray for Israel during this time.  Both for the families of the soldiers killed and for those soldiers who are now serving.
