Sergeant Nimrod Cohen
An only child until he was 10, Nimrod was at first cautious upon hearing that his parents were going to adopt a child given that he had enjoyed their undivided attention until that point. But he welcomed Doron, who he had helped to name, with open arms and committed himself to helping the youngster acclimate and settle into a warm, loving home. This was the true essence of Nimrod. An honest, thoughtful, dependable young man, Nimrod embraced everyone, regardless of age, status or other characteristics and was a great fan of soccer and a lover of music.
Nimrod was killed on July 12, 2006 during efforts to retrieve the bodies of tank crew members after a Hezbollah strike. He was 19 years old.
