"I was a combat medic and served in the Nahal Brigade between 2000-2003
I saw more bodies during those three years than over the many years since then.
I was injured several times during my military service, 18 years ago and 4 years later when called up for reserve duty during the Second Lebanon War. There I was seriously injured in my head, body, mind, and soul.
Since then I have been undergoing physiological, mental, and cardiac rehabilitation treatment.
I got married and had a son, got divorced and found great love, and had a daughter.
I will never give up on this life.
I will not let my past destroy my future.
It's a daily battle and most days I win."
