Fallen soldiers show us that we must seize the day - opinion
Each of these good, selfless people seized the moment to crowd their hours with throbbing life, largely without regard for any consequences or personal burdens it may have imposed on them.
IDF SGT.-MAJ. (res.) Ben Zussman is laid to rest at the Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem, in December. In a letter, he wrote: ‘Even if something happens to me, I’m not permitting you to sink into sorrow. I had the privilege to fulfill my dream and my mission.’
