Peretz, Meir
Son of Yaakov and Elise. He was born in 1950 in Morocco and immigrated to Israel with his family in 1962. He studied at the Karkur Elementary School and the Diskin High School in Jerusalem, and was a good-hearted person who loved to help people, both friends and strangers. Meir was drafted into the IDF in early February 1968. He served courageously and with great readiness. He would be meticulous in carrying out every command precisely and not deterred by the most difficult tasks. He was the first to obey an order saying that this should be because “this is our country and we have to fight for it until we win peace.” On the 18th of Kislev 5731 (December 16, 1970), he fell while carrying out his duties. He was brought to eternal rest in the cemetery in Pardes Hanna. In a letter of condolence to his parents, the commander of his unit wrote about their son who was an outstanding soldier, “both as a combat soldier and as a driver.” His friends loved him and always knew that they had someone to trust.
