In a touching moment at the beret ceremony of the Border Infantry Brigade, Lt. Col. Tal Iglitzki, one of the founders of the Paran Brigade, surprised his son Eitan, a Bardelas Battalion warrior, by presenting him with the brigade's first beret.
This emotional father-son moment symbolizes a powerful connection between generations of IDF warriors. Lt. Col. Iglitzki, who helped establish the Paran Brigade, now watches his son follow in his footsteps as part of the Bardelas Battalion.
The border infantry's distinctive beret represents not just completion of training, but a commitment to Israel's defense and the continuation of a proud military legacy. As Eitan received his beret from his father's hands, it marked both a personal milestone and a symbolic passing of the torch.
