“the armies of egypt, jordan, syria and lebanon are poised on the borders of israel…to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of iraq, algeria, kuwait, sudan and the whole arab nation. this act will astound the world. today they will know that the arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. we have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations.” -jordanian king hussein after signing a defense pact with egypt in 1967.

    A very powerful image!

    I haven't been to Israel since 1997. I use to hit Haifa once a year when I was stationed with the US 6Th Fleet flagship.

    Amazing victory for brave people from a great country, who can appreciate freedom. iloveyou.gif

    I have never been to Israel but I hope I can visit it one day and experience it.

    You have some great pictures on your website and the reading is very interesting too.

    Thank you.
