TODAY IS DAY 1803....
Fifty Israeli's on motorcycles joined the now traditional Memorial Day Weekend Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally in Washington, DC - a rally calling attention to the plight of MIA soldiers - in order to remind the world about the captivity of Israeli MIA Gilad Shalit, kidnapped by Arab terrorists in June, 2006. Rally's in Israel and around the world called for Gilad Shalit's release by Hamas.
We, who are free today in the USA this Memorial Day weekend, owe our freedom to many. While we remember American soldiers, who gave the full measure of their devotion in order that we remain free, we owe it to the world to remember that there are many from other nations, who gave that same full measure for the same reason, and that includes the sacrifices of many Israelis, who have given far more than the world knows or recognized for the sake of peace and freedom.

YOM HAZIKARON, 5770 (MEMORIAL DAY, ISRAEL, 2010 CE) & PATRIOTS DAY IN MASSACHUSSETTS & 1415 YOMIM "HATISHBI".
IN MASSACHUSSETTS, WHERE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BEGAN, WHERE SOME OF THE FIRST AMERICAN JEWISH SETTLEMENTS IN AMERICA CAN BE TRACED, TODAY IS "PATRIOTS DAY".
GILAD SHALIT MARKS DAY 1415 OF HIS SOLITARY CAPTIVITY IN GAZA, ALLOWED TO SEE ONLY HIS CAPTORS, NO ONE ELSE, NOT HIS MOTHER, NOT HIS FATHER, NOT EVEN THE RED CROSS.
112 ISRAELI SOLDIERS HAVE DIED SINCE ISRAEL MEMORIAL DAY LAST YEAR.
22,682 ISRAELI SOLDIERS HAVE DIED SINCE 1948.
ON THIS DAY IN 1943 THE JEWS OF THE WARSAW GHETTO BEGAN THEIR UPRISING AGAINST THE NAZIS; THEY DIED FIGHTING WITH ROCKS AND PISTOLS AND MOLOTOV COCKTAILS AGAINST THE LUFTWAFFE AND AN ENTIRE PANZER DIVISION RATHER THAN BE SHIPPED OFF TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS OF WHICH EVIDENCE HAD FINALLY REACHED THEIR EARS.
"ANA B'KOACH GADOLATH YMINCHA TH'THYR TZRORAH." ("We implore YOU, by the Power of YOUR Right Hand, release the Captive.")
HAYOM ESRIM YOM SH'HAYM SHNAY SHVUOTH V'SHISHA YOMIM L'OMER, HAYOM "YESOD B'TIFERETH". (Today is the 20th day towards the Omer Day; the mystical qualities of this 20th day include Foundation and Harmony.)
