25,648.
These are not just numbers.

Each one is a son, a daughter, a father, a mother, a friend.
Each one is a whole world — a story, a dream, a life that mattered.

For almost three years, Israel has been at war.
And the cost, feels too heavy to carry.
Because it’s not “them.”
It’s us.
It’s our people.
Our friends, our neighbors, our brothers and sisters.

Tonight, as Yom HaZikaron begins, everything pauses.
The noise, the rush, the everyday life.
And we remember.

We remember the soldiers who gave their lives so we could live.
So we could wake up in the morning, hold our children, and feel safe.
We remember them because without them, we would not have a home.

So much sacrifice.
So much pain.
So much blood.

And yet, through all of it — we are still here.

We stand today because they stood for us.
We live because they chose to protect life, even at the cost of their own.

We will not forget them.
Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Today, we stand tall.
We bow our heads.
We honor every soul who gave everything for this land.

May their memory be a blessing.
And may the God of Israel avenge their blood.
🙏🏻🇮🇱
