We had a great Yom HaAtzmaut today! The plan of action was to go with “Standing Together” to do a barbecue (or “mangal” as they say in Hebrew) for soldiers at the Machane Ofer base–not the prison– outside of Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, when we got there, they had already eaten, so we were sent to Givat Zev, where a group of 150 soldiers had set up a show including tanks, camouflage displays, blowing up a car (we missed that) and other exciting exhibits. Apparently there was no food for these soldiers, so we went there and set up our grills.
The soldiers were very appreciative and enjoyed our hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks and other supplies.
The girls enjoyed the other fun activities, and the big girl got her face painted with camouflage paint.
We got home at around 4:30 and are now resting from a busy day!
