Photo of the Day: Protective Edge

Today a ceremony was held at end of an Ulpan course for 300 new Israeli soldiers, all lone soldiers from countries around the world.

Israeli soldiers ceremony

They were smiling, in spite of the situation.

I was smiling because our true protective edge is the brains and talent of these young people.

My son-in-law got called up for reserve duty, not smiling so much here as Operation Protective Edge edges closer to home.
