Since last Remembrance Day, 233 members of Israel’s security forces were killed defending the state, including 119 who died in Lebanon. Among those who made the ultimate sacrifice was Sgt. Michael Levin (pictured), a Philadelphia native killed by Hezbollah gunfire in Aita al-Shaab. Today, Israeli TV airs A Hero in Heaven, a 45-minute documentary about Levin.
Jon Medved‘s thoughts on Levin’s funeral are as apropos now as they were last August.
