Today is Memorial Day in Israel. In the US Memorial Day is celebrated with a day off and picnics. In Israel, Memorial Day is observed with a few minutes of silence in memory of the soldiers that have died in battle. There were 23,169 of them.
Here is a website that lists them. You can search by name, date, or town. It is in Hebrew, however.
