Sergeant tomer goldberg
When Tomer was born, his parents, Tamar and David, planted a pine tree in their garden by their house on Moshav Dishon. Tomer climbed this tree during his childhood and it is still standing there in the yard. Tamar: “You couldn’t stop Tomer. He grabbed life with such strength and took advantage of every moment, as a child and as an adult. He loved home and his brothers very much and he was connected to every one of them. He was also very close to me. Tomer was the type of person who sees first the good of everyone. I think that it is crazy to raise a child that reaches such a high level of uniqueness and then to lose him like that. Today I see him in his younger brother, Eliran that went in his footsteps in almost everything. After Tomer was killed, Eliran went into his room and sat there for hours. Even in the army he wanted so badly to complete Tomer’s voyage and receive the end of voyage pin that Tomer didn’t receive, and that’s what happened.”
