Every year on Memorial Day, I pause to reflect on the extraordinary courage of the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States. As an American‑Israeli, this day carries deep meaning for me. I grew up in a country shaped by the bravery of those who fought for freedom in World War II, and today I raise my children in a nation where service and sacrifice are woven into daily life.
Memorial Day is not just a date on the calendar, but a reminder that the freedoms we enjoy — freedoms we often take for granted — were purchased by people who were willing to give everything. It is a day to honor those who never came home, and to remember the families whose lives were forever changed by their loss.
When I think of American sacrifice, my mind often returns to World War II. The world was drowning in darkness, and yet American soldiers crossed oceans to confront evil head‑on. They liberated camps, saved lives, and helped restore hope to a shattered world. Their bravery is not just history. It is a legacy. It is a blessing. It is something I thank God for every single day.
And in more recent years, American service members have continued to stand for what is right — fighting terrorism, protecting the innocent, and defending the values that both America and Israel hold dear. Their sacrifice has made the world safer for all of us.
This year, Memorial Day feels especially personal. My daughter Meyora is currently serving in the IDF. I am so proud of her — proud of her strength, her conviction, and her willingness to protect our people. But as every military parent knows, pride and fear often walk hand in hand.
