Fallen Soldiers

They didn’t ask why. They simply went.

On October 7, as terror swept through communities, they stood between life and death, between home and horror.

Some were already in uniform; others left their doorsteps without orders and without hesitation.

They fell so that others could live. They were sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, partners and friends.

They are not numbers, but named lives whose stories continue in the hearts of those they protected.
