To visit this site also means to walk through the walls of the hall of value of the fallen soldiers for all their generations, in which marvelous deeds and good measures are dicovered In this hall, with its tales of life and death, the bravery is exemplified, which is the will to stick to the invaluable task, to the death. Here the full responsibility and the ongoing comradery are shown, the professional wisdom and excellent modeling. This site belongs to all grieving families. Each family finds here the image of their loved one, they participate in perpetuating the beloved character, in detail and sensitivity, to the entire nation, for recognition and appreciation.

The site's visitors are asked not only to respect it - as is customary in the military cemetery, And not only to examine it - as is customary in a historical museum, but also to learn from it, as is appropriate in this hall of values Each visitor to the site will take at least one memory, the living memory of one fallen person, his name, his picture, and the main points of his life and death.
