Sergeant Shai Shimon attias
Although quiet and humble, Shai had a good sense of humor. Known to be sensitive, he was always concerned about all living creatures, those on two legs and those on four. He spent many hours volunteering for causes that helped the less fortunate and even raised a dog and a cat together! A sports lover, Shai exemplified the character of a "peace-maker." Shai died on July 14, 2006 when his ship was struck off the Beirut coast by a Hezbollah-fired rocket. He was 19 years old.
