قَالَ جَدِّي: «هَذَا جُنْدِيٌّ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْقَرْيَةِ يَا مُهَنَّدُ اسْتُشْهِدَ وَهُوَ يُدَافِعُ عَنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

My grandfather said, "Mohannad, this is a soldier from our village who died defending the land of Egypt."

وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الْقَرْيَةِ يُحِبُّونَهُ؛ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْتَرِمُ الْكَبِيرَ، وَيُسَاعِدُ الصَّغِيرَ.

The villagers loved him because he respected his elders and helped the young.

وَكَانَ شُجَاعًا لَا يَخَافُ الصِّعَابَ وَيُحِبُّ قَرْيَتَهُ كَمَا يُحِبُّ بَيْتَهُ».

He was brave, feared no hardship, and loved his village as much as his own home."
