The new reality in the shadow of the Corona, prompted a group of officers and combat fighters to initiate a national project that would otherwise respect the memory of the fallen. 

The project recruits thousands of volunteers who will stand in pairs with the Israeli flag, wearing white shirts, at the memorials. Now the thinkers of the venture are calling on the public to join in the singing of hope in the front of the house when the siren ends.

The unique project, entitled "Forever Together," is the product of a collaboration of the One Heart Association, the Yad Labanim and the Ministry of Social Equality. 

One of the leaders of the project is Captain (res.) A, who three of his classmates, Matan Gottlieb, late Omar Hai and late Guy Eleganti, fell on a firm cliff. "I wanted them not to be forgotten," he explains. Respect the fallen and strengthen the families on this day. "
