İsmail Ertem and Süleyman Yalçın were away from home, in Şırnak`s Cizre, an eastern town of Turkey. They were stationed in Cizre for an important task. The fate of these two brave men, who never knew each other before, was connected for a holy duty. Their task was to ensure the security of people in Cizre as there were illegal groups threatening lives and properties of innocent civilians in the region. Ismail Ertem came across many things that broke his heart in his post; civilians were killed, schools, villages, streets and hospitals were damaged, local residents taking shelter at home were threatened, pupils going to school were learning to fear.
