"My hero Roy chose a command course – Roy served as a platoon commander in the Tomer Company, in the Rotem Brigade of the Givati Battalion."
"I am proud of my son Roy, kind-hearted and handsome, who excelled in everything, proud of his fighting spirit in his choices, and the care he demonstrated towards his soldiers and others," she continued.
