Kristen Dalton, Miss USA 2009, wrote, “Israelis have an exquisite, highly innovative country that provides job security, democracy, health insurance and top quality education to people of all religions and races. Most importantly, they value life over death. I was mesmerized by the fact that every Israeli we met had a genuine smile on their face and a glimmer of hope in their eyes.”
Mallory Hagan, Miss America in 2013 commented, “The technology developed in Israel has saved thousands of lives, but the idea of fifteen seconds to find shelter certainly opened our eyes to the drastic way the conflict with Gaza affected the normal, day-t0-day ways of living.” She added, “Of all the travels I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy, this will be the most life-changing. I am so grateful to be here.”
