| Al and Paulette T. - USA Paulette and I want to thank you again for organizing the entire series of events for all of us. You can tell the gentleman from the Bureau of Tourism, that I have been promoting the idea to everyone I have encountered, that whether they are a Jew or a Christian, "..they need to be in Israel." I will be giving a program at the adult Bible study in our church in two weeks on our trip to Israel. I will be giving a program to a Jewish men's organization the following week. I have described our trip "as the most interesting and profound experience of my life." I have long admired the resolve of your country's military personnel. We will continue to pray for you and your country during these troubled times. Airborne Houze & Spera - France On a regardé avec beaucoup d'attention le site et celà nous a rappelé de beaux souvenirs avec en prime la découverte d'un merveilleux pays. Sache que nous ne sommes pas insensibles aux évènements qu'Israël subis en ce moment, et nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous Carole, Katia, Fifi et moi même t'embrassons et courage ! Allen V. - South Africa I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful experience I had In your beautiful country. You took great care of your delegates, and I think everyone left with fantastic memories. I will definitely want to return someday with my family. I pray for the peace of Israel and its neighbors. I fulfilled my dream of meeting with the Israeli paras, as in my mind they have always been the best. It would have been good to have done a live operation with them. Its sad how things have changed in our country, when I served in the military in the early 80 ,s our relations with Israel were like brothers. Stefan E. - Germany As team leader of the German delegation I would like to thank you for your great event during “Operation Freedom Jump 2005”. Due to your great effort and organization we received a very good introduction in the great history and most interesting culture of the modern Israel. Everything was perfectly organized and we really enjoyed an amazing time. As Paratrooper it was a great honor to train and jump with your famous IDF- Airborne School. We joined a perfect jump! We are looking very forward to return soon! Thank you for everything! Airborne from your young German Brother! |
Dolf B. – South Africa I just want to thank you again for a wonderful trip to Israel and all your help and friendship. Without you it would not be a great success that it was. Hope to see you sometime in the future again. Keep on doing what you do, you are somebody special and a true friend. Roy M. – England (Pathfinder UK) Thanks for the photos. Niel; has already sung your praises and written a short article for our web site. Hopefully we can get a descent size group together for next year. Well done on a successful event. I know it was not easy to organise and I'm sure you had a few nail biting experiences but you succeeded in the end. Sum K. – Singapore I’ve return to Singapore yesterday! The last week event of FREEDOM JUMP 2006-Operation Musketeer was a great and wonderful event. That’s will not be happen and possible without your tremendous arrangement and best effort to make it as best as possible. Although the programmed, is very time taxing and tiring for some of them with nos. of hours of traveling to from point to points but that really an worthwhile visit especially with the details briefing of the areas. Eg Golan Heights, Ammunition Hill & Museum and Masada-Dead Sea. While during our refresher ground training at the IDF Airborne School before the jump and till the actual jump day, the IDF Jumpmasters and Instructors professionalism, dedication and patience have earn the utmost respect from everyone of us. Please help me to sent my most sincere appreciation and salute to the IDF Airborne School Commander, Paratroopers Brigade Commander, Chief of Grounds Forces Commander and all the Officers & NCO’s from the IDF Airborne School for the successful of the jump operation. Especially the grand “IDF Parachute Winds” awards ceremony and the certificate ceremony gala dinner. The event have given me an opportunity to get good understanding of the country as a whole which many people might not have this privileges. Dave and Cherie M. - South Africa Shalom from South Africa This is Regimental Sgt. Major Dave M. and Cherie from the South African team. We would like to say a very big thank you for the wonderful experience we had in Israel. Your hospitality was truly enjoyable and we cannot stop talking about this trip to all our friends. If this is what can be expected next year, there will certainly be a lot more South Africans on your Freedom Jump Tour 2007. Lt. Colonel Jean Pierre O. & Chantal - Honorable Members of the ISRAELI FREEDOM JUMP - SWISS Bien le bonjour à toi Yoav, Enfin un moment pour t'envoyer ce message.
