Brandon
Recently my friend Brandon Perelman returned from serving in the Israeli army. He isn’t Israeli, just some kid from Philadelphia who believed so strongly, that he volunteered for one of the toughest armies in the world.
Every time I got to talk to Brandon while he was serving, it usually went like this:
“How’s training Brandon?”
“Great! It’s grenade week, and tomorrow I’m climbing the ‘Hill of Tears.’”
Well, three years later he’s home safe and sound. No matter what your political stance on Israel happens to be, you would have to be a complete asshole to deny that someone who would risk their life for another country’s freedom is a true hero.
Welcome home, Brandon. I salute you.
