patches Posted April 17 Share #1 Posted April 17 Just seen the Israeli Actor Topol passed last month a 87. He was in the Israeli Army as a teenager, and a reservist for few years after active service, he evidently was in the Israeli Army's Special Services, as a Reservist he was recalled for the Sinai War in 1956. And either volunteered or was recalled for both the Seven Day War and the Yom Kippur War, both times as an entertainer it seems. It has also come to light that he was a Special Agent for Mossad as well LOL. Here he is during the Yom Kippur War, he's not wearing Rank Shoulder Straps, indicating he's no longer a Reservist but a Volunteer to support the troops.

At least half the class chose Citizen Kane. Guess what movie I picked? I got an A. I think the teacher was grateful not to read yet another Citizen Kane paper. mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
