Meet Nitzan, a sergeant and military animal trainer in the Israel Defense Forces who has Downs Syndrome.

Nitzan was born with Downs Syndrome. Growing up he watched as older siblings, friends, and relatives all went on to serve their country in the IDF.

When it came time for Nitzan, the IDF had a place for him, and other Israelis just like him, to proudly serve alongside friends, relatives and countrymen.

Watch Sergeant Nitzan talk about his place in the IDF.
