The sky in this part of the earth left many stars for us in its crimson album. The soil of Shalamcheh was like an open embrace from heaven; a flat land of martyrdom where the hands of the brave could easily reach God. "Davood Rahimi", after his martyrdom, was seen in a photo wearing a clerical robe when the guys visited his grave. No one knew during his time at the front that he was a religious student.

The PMP carrying the members of the relief post set off, and I prayed that they would arrive safely. A mortar hit the PMP near the embankment, but by God's will, nothing happened, and it continued moving. I started walking as the mortar shells were exploding a few meters away.

In Shahrivar 1359 (September 1980), tensions had arisen on the Iran-Iraq border and were gradually escalating. Volunteers were needed to guard the Qasr-e Shirin border. I joined the line of volunteers, but the operations commander, knowing that I had an upcoming Hajj pilgrimage, took my hand and insisted I go to Mecca and pray for them. No matter how much I insisted, he would not agree.

The news indicated that people had gathered in Jaleh Square and that the soldiers had ...

After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.
