By all accounts, Taylor Force was an all-American kid. He loved skiing, guitar and horses. He was an Eagle Scout and a West Point graduate who served honorably in Iraq and Afghanistan before enrolling in Vanderbilt’s MBA program.

Taylor was a young man with big dreams and loads of potential. That’s what brought him to Israel last year – to learn firsthand about Israel’s thriving culture of innovation and entrepreneurship – where he was tragically murdered in Jaffa by a Palestinian terrorist.
