Gain firsthand insight into their courage, resilience, and the realities of life in combat zones. Prepare to be inspired and moved by their stories of sacrifice, camaraderie, and unwavering dedication to their country!

Together, T and R are on a mission to enlighten and inspire by sharing their profound experiences and insights through a series of lectures across the United States.

Their presentations are enriched with immersive footage, including videos from T's Go-Pro, capturing hundreds of rescue missions, and R's cockpit cameras, offering a firsthand view of his aerial endeavors.

Major R: R embodies courage and commitment. A fighter pilot of remarkable skill, R completed 85 missions upon his return to Israel in October, showcasing his bravery and expertise.

R, currently a student at Northwestern Kellogg, chose to balance his academic pursuits with his military obligations.

Along with being a devoted husband and father to a one-year-old baby girl, he manages an intensive academic workload alongside the demands of military service.

Captain T: A leader both in the field and in academia, T made the critical decision to interrupt his studies at Northwestern Kellogg to serve his country.

As a commander in the elite search and rescue unit 669, T played a crucial role in the "Iron Swords" operation and participated in the operation to bring back hostages from capture.
