Finns, Guri


Son of David and Genia. He was born on 3 August 1946 in Haifa, where he studied at the Reali School in Haifa and was a member of Tzofim and belonged to HaPoel of Mount Carmel before he served in the army. He was close to music, loved literature and liked theater, including his developed sense of justice, truth to extremes, and modesty, and in July 1965 he was drafted into the IDF and was one of the first to volunteer for paratroopers. His modesty was known to have reached some degree that she would not have worn. Giora was one of the staff members of the Dagan instructors who operated in Yeruham in the past year. He arrived in Yeruham in September 1967 and took upon himself the organization of a youth club called the “Youth Center”. He quickly bought the hearts of his apprentices and the hearts of many Yeruham residents who knew him. From the day he arrived, he became one of the youth who guided him. He cooperated with everyone and with a forgiving smile he treated the apprentices as a compassionate pain. He left the club with the promise of writing to the apprentices and even to visit frequently, and he came on a rainy winter day in paratrooper uniform, recounting his actions in the army and after Giora loved his company and joined the Motta Gur Company, he was one of the first occupiers of Old Jerusalem and showed his devotion and fighting spirit during the battles to liberate the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. Did not succeed in completing his mission, because on Wednesday, March 4, 1968, he fell while completing a mission Kido. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Haifa. The commander of the reconnaissance unit wrote a letter of condolences to his parents: “Giora arrived at Sayeret voluntarily and fought stubbornly with his commanders for his position in the brigade as a volunteer and as a combat soldier. His role is impeccable, with sacrifice and with courage. “
