In 1981, Yossi Flint stood in a line with his fellow soldiers from the 890th Battalion of the Paratroop Brigade during their swearing-in ceremony at the training base in the Negev. Afterward, he watched as all of the other soldiers ran to hug their parents and relatives.
A lone soldier from Glasgow, Scotland, Flint did not have anyone to hug. That is why 27 years later he flew here to attend his son Adam’s swearing-in ceremony to the 101st Battalion of the Paratroop Brigade."
