Dadon shared her experience on Instagram, reflecting on Meir's family and the many families holding memorial events across the country. She emphasized the importance of remembering the fallen, stating, "We must not forget, and not let anyone make us forget." She urged those unable to attend ceremonies or who didn't know the families personally to choose a fallen soldier, look at their picture, and learn about them. "From each of the fallen, we can take something, one value to implement in our daily lives," she wrote.
Reflecting on David Meir specifically, Dadon stated, "From David, I take the desire to connect people, and the love of the land."
