When I was listening to what my father was saying I was amazed as to how important a role this played in his life. I could clearly understand that their wasn't any peace in the middle east but through this treaty there was more peace. My dad gave me a first person account of him watching president Carter, president Saddat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin signing the peace treaty. This would change the lives of many.

My dad was very afraid that there would be another war during his life and he would become drafted into the military creating high stress in his family and in his life. People thought that when the treaty was signed there would be a greater amount of peace. The Israeli's went to Camp David with hope that this agreement would create peace in the Middle East and that it would be a model for the rest of the the Middle East to hopefully join or create their own form of this treaty. After many dark years there would be a greater amount of peace in the middle east because of The Camp David Accords.
