What a deeply moving picture! I don't have the words to say what I feel seeing this picture and reading the article. I wish I did. All that I am able to say is that my heart goes out to these young Israeli soldiers and the family of Stf. Sgt. Nadav Kudinsky. May his soul rest with the Lord.

May god revenge his death, and may his soul rest in peace in the land of Israel which Nadav served, as so many other soldiers who died for their friends and for their family so they will continue living without fear.
