He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Honoring my Dad tonight.
Second generation immigrant from Finland, he was born and grew-up in Minnesota, he and his family survived the Great Depression.
He enlisted in the Army after Pearl Harbor and after training was stationed in the Pacific War theater.
He was an Infantry soldier, NCO and ultimately received a battlefield commission as a 2nd Lieutenant.
He was wounded twice in battle and received 2 Purple Hearts and other medals before the end of the war.
After the war and newly married to my Mom, he moved out to Seattle and was a mechanic and Engineer for the Boeing company for 30 years before retiring.
Not only was he my and my sister's Dad but he became our only parent as our mother was killed in a train-car accident when we were both very young.
He raised both of us all by himself and did a darn good job!
Here's to you, Dad, you were the best there ever was, Happy Father's Day!
My Dad, 5/28/14 to 10/8/88, I still miss you dearly, Dad!
Howdy, Kathy.
