Hearing from the soldiers how the week and their sessions will have a lasting impact on their lives is really an unbelievable experience that we feel so grateful to be a small part of. We still stay in touch with the soldiers we hosted the first year and we have no doubt that we will do so with our soldiers from the second year. We got to meet and befriend the whole team and they each inspired us in their own unique way. We hope to be able to continue to host soldiers for The Peace of Mind Program, it really has had a huge impact on our lives.

We hosted for the second year now and each time has left an indelible mark on our lives. Within minutes we connected with the soldiers and they became a part of our family. Once again the soldiers immediately gravitated towards the children and showed them the best time. Through this experience we developed even more respect for the IDF and we felt even more connected to Israel.
