My inspiration is a man named Roi Klein. Roi Klein was born march 16th, 1975 in Raanana, Israel. He studied industrial engineering and management at Ariel University, and joined the IDF under the paratrooper’s brigade and later moved on to Golani’s Egoz Reconnaissance. In 2006, Klein unit was deployed into Southern Lebanon during the 2nd Lebanon war. A grenade was thrown over a wall towards Klien and his unit, and Klien immediately ordered his unit to run as he jumped on the grenade and hugged it in to absorb the blast.
Klien inspires me not because he killed himself, or because he died fighting, but because within a split second, Klien decided that instead of running away and risking the possibility of several casualties, that he would sacrifice he own life to save others. Giving the ultimate sacrifice without any desire for recognition and putting the importance of his life aside to protect his fellow soldiers is something the world can make note of. Klien left a wife and two sons behind, and will be forever remembered in the State of Israel as a national hero, and as my inspiration.
