'They weren't only soldiers. They were lovers and football fans, they were human beings'

JL;DR SUMMARY In response to ongoing conflict, a grassroots project in Israel covers public spaces with stickers of fallen soldiers, highlighting their personal lives beyond their military roles. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
