In Israel, where I grew up, we all must serve in the army after we finish high school. Boys give 3 years and girls 2. The army service is an honor and we all see it as a basic thing to do. Israelis tend to disrespect those who try to skip it. Soldiers are loved and the only time we see guns in Israel is when we see soldiers carrying them around.

Fatima and I went to visit the Atlanta market last week. We invited 3 retailers for a "round table" discussion where we shared some business observations, requests, concerns and success stories with each other.
