A nation kisses knee better.

President of Israel Shimon Peres has announced a national day of remembrance in memory of Trooper Joshua Goldberg, who hurt his knee getting out of a gunship yesterday morning.

The Knesset held a one minute silence for the 22 year old Haifa resident after he slipped carrying his kit, and tore a trouser leg, requiring a dab of antiseptic and a bandaid.

The trooper has been nominated for the medal of valor, the Israeli Defence Force’s highest military decoration.
