TAPS congratulates all fathers on the holiday - both those who are currently holding their child's hand, and those whom we hold in our hearts and memories.

For Father's Day, we gave food packages and household items to the parents of our community who lost their children in the war, as a sign of care and support.

A father is not just a family role.

It is protection, wisdom and a heart that always stands guard over childhood.

It is about the ability to be there.

About those hands that lift you up when you fall.

About a look that shows boundless faith in you.

It is the father figure who teaches a child to stand tall, act honestly and love their country.

For many families who lost their fathers in the war, this day is filled with pain and longing.

But we remember: those who gave their lives for the sake of children and their future - forever remain Fathers.

The memory of the father is alive.

It is in the heart, in the eyes of children, in every choice we make with dignity.

Feel. Act. Heal.
