Sar-El: A Priceless Opportunity

Now
that I've been back home almost a week, I'm finally coming down off the
"high" of the Sar-El experience. I cannot thank you enough for the
opportunity. I've gained a priceless perspective of the IDF army soldier:
life on the base, defending the country, and fellowship amongst the
soldiers. I was honored with the opportunity of raising the Israeli flag one morning. More so, I had the opportunity to meet many great soldiers and volunteers. The madricha was patient, intelligent, and a real pleasure to work with. Overall, the experience was educational and extremely rewarding, and I am eternally grateful!
If Sar-El will have me, I'd like to re-apply at a
future date. I've recanted the experiences to my brother (an Illinois
State Police officer near Chicago), and he is interested in applying as
well.
Thank you very much,
Steve Bautista
