I miss you.. I can't understand that you are no longer with us.""Your picture, Eliran, at the end of the sixth grade is burned into my head. A very pleasant boy, responsible, mature and above all purposeful and valuable! One that you choose every time from the first for each task. I met your parents recently and realized how deeply rooted the love of the country and doing things for the other was born from them. The pain is too heavy to bear, so the duty is to make sure that we never forget you and what you represent!"
