Armored officers, writes one of his friends: “I would write a book about Micha’s leadership. He came, gave orders and everything ran. He was appointed commander of a platoon in the Golan Heights, and Micha was not a regular commander of the Armored Corps, Micha went on a trip to the United States and Canada and returned from there, full of experiences and impressions, and this trip greatly enriched him, as can be seen from a passage in one of his letters from abroad: “To tell the truth is that what I am doing is something you can do once in a lifetime, And no exaggeration, I certainly will not do that again, and in general we traveled about three thousand five hundred miles Owing by Los Angeles, we drove from Detroit to New Orleans along the Mississippi, after this Houston (Space Center), San Antonio, famous Alamo, El Paso, we jump to California. There really is a lot to tell. Hope you get it right opportunity. ” The Yom Kippur War found Micha in the family circle. Although he was not stationed in any unit, he went to “Beit Hashiryon”. From there he was sent with other officers to reinforce the Northern Command, equipped himself and went out, as part of an armored unit, along the Benot Ya’aqov bridge bridge.
