Daniel also posted a picture of himself on the burned CIO and shared: "What you see in the picture is my tiger, or at least what was left of it after the disaster. I took this picture about a month after the disaster, after a month of two weeks of which I was anesthetized and on a ventilator in critical condition, when the same guys who work on my tiger responded to my request that I asked the day I woke up, that on the day I finally get back on my feet, let me come and see the tool, the same tool that served as my home for almost a month in a gathering area, the same tool I slept in more than I slept in my house in the past year, The same tool I cared for more than I cared for myself and took care of every day as if it were my own child, so that it would give me back and protect me equally on the battlefield, and here it was protecting me."

Daniel said that he and his fellow fighters always knew that one of them might be killed in battle, but at the same time they were not afraid for a moment to do the tasks assigned to them to defend the country.

"When we went to war, it was clear to us that in a war like in a war, there would be wounded, there would be dead, maybe even from our crew, but it didn't bother us because in front of our eyes there was a higher goal than anything else, and that was to protect our home, our land, which we have no other, and our families, so that they could return to living in peace and without fear. But this? We never imagined this, not even in our worst nightmares, that 11 warriors, heroes, legends and golden people, one by one, would walk to us in one fell swoop, in the same vessel, in the same second."

At the end of the post, Daniel published the names of his friends and again promised to commemorate them forever.
