Today is Yom Ha'Zikaron, Israel Memorial Day and 24 hour tribute to its fallen soldiers and victims of terror. At the end of this Memorial Day the flags are raised from half-mast and Israel's Independence Day immediately begins.
Below is a clip of the way every Israeli citizen remembers.

Baruch Ata Adonai Elo-hei-nu me-lech ha-olam a-sher ke-d-sha-nu b- mitz-vo-tav, v-tzi-va-nu al s-fi-rat ha-omer.
Praised be you Adonai our God who rules the Universe instilling within us the holiness of mitzvot by commanding us to count the Omer.
Today is the ninteenth day of the Omer.
