To the right: Assaf RamonB"H
Israel loves it's heros; even those who are not yet heros.
Ilan Ramon's oldest son Assaf died in a training accident yesterday. Only about two months ago, he became a pilot in the army. After 47 exercises, his F – 16 jet crashed near Hebron.
The death of Assaf Ramon is not only a personal tragedy for his mother Rona but also a national one. Since his father, the astronaut Ilan Ramon, died more than six years ago, the Ramon's were thought of the perfect family. Every day we read in the newspapers about murder, abuse or theft. We start asking ourselves where our society is going to. Are there any more honest people in Israel ? Where are all the morals, values and where is the respect for each other gone ?
When we looked at the Ramon family we saw all these seemingly lost attributes. Assaf was the perfect caring and successful teenager who walked in the ways of his father. He took care of his other three siblings and mother Rona never made a fuss about having lost her husband. The Ramon family served as a quiet modest example for all of us.
Assaf was not yet a military hero but he was a social one. I hope his mother won't loose all hope by loosing a second beloved family member.
