Israel 15,
March 27, 2024,
Hi Everyone,
Today we saw the fruits of our labour. We filled the Emergency Trauma Back Packs with medical equipment to be used for major injuries at the front. We then had our last meeting with the group of volunteers. It was a wonderful group. Everyone had to give a little talk and everyone agreed that the camaraderie that we had developed together was unbeatable. I can only compare it with the camaraderie that we all have with the group of guys that I play hockey with.
The volunteers came from Canada, the USA, France, England, Norway, Argentina, Chile and South Africa. 30% of the volunteers were not Jewish and have no attachment with Israel except for their willingness to come to help. We received a pin, a tee-shirt, a hat and an IDF diploma. I will have 4 diplomas at the end of my service. Where will I hang them all?
Tomorrow we leave for Tel Aviv and I intend to be on the beach at 3:00 pm.
Love,
Brian
