I share your pride through my son Mark Goodman

My son Mark Goodman was also a Red Baret. He is no longer with us but his mother Rachel and I carry his memory with us every day.

I share your feelings and your pride.

My son Mark Mendel Goodman became a Red Baret Israeli Paratrooper. Although he is no longer with us, I carry great love and pride for my beautiful son Mark. Thank you for your remarks and your thoughts.
