March of the Living 1999 Diary

April 22, 3:00 PM

This just made my trip! We're at a front-line army base, and everyone wanted to take a picture outside with the soldiers. (mostly paratroopers) I didn't have my camera, because we couldn't take pictures on the base, and so I missed what is possibly the best of the trip! I was on the side of a group of people watching, and a soldier came, picked me up in his arms, and then sat me on his knee. And another let me wear his paratrooper's beret! It was so great! Just wanted to share that while it's still fresh in my mind.
