On Thursday, Adar Tss”d (26/02/2004), at 15: 5, entered Sergeant Major Amir Zimmerman and his platoon sergeant on duty at a Mishali Ilan Erez checkpoint security. Ilan, who knew the position, noticed that the gate of the junkyard, about 15 meters east of the post, was slightly open, and the two conducted a tour that yielded nothing.

The passage “Little Something for Thought” was written to Amir’s memory: “Too often we are afraid of what we may not be able to do, of what people might think, if we try, we give the fears our hopes, we say no, when we really want to say yes. We sit quietly, when we really want to shout, and we yell with the others when we want to shut up, why, after all, we ‘re here for just one round, we don’ t have time to be afraid, so try something you ‘ve never tried. To the basketball team of the college, jump bungee jumping in the most beautiful place in the world, travel a year in the east and then continue a little more, go to pray with Jews in Hong Kong Just to see a new place, go sell books on Saturday, take a bicycle trip just like that in the middle of the day, try whatever you want, sell Australian sunglasses in the middle of the night, take a bold step, dance to the senses as if there is no tomorrow. But you have a lot to gain, just do it, Amir knew how to do it, let’s learn from it. “
