Yesterday and today we commemorate Yom Hazikaron \\u2014Memorial Day\\u2014 in Israel.
In 1948 the poet Haim Gouri fought as a deputy company commander in the Palmach Negev Brigade and wrote a poem commemorating the fighters who accompanied the convoys and fell at Bab el Wad.
We read from it on today\'s episode.
