A crown for eternity
When we sat down, thinking of him in silence, I wanted to touch the rosary, however, it was no longer around my neck...
Ivan's death was a shock to his comrades. They could not come to terms with the fact that their hero was gone. Damir Markuš, in his book about the defense of Vukovar, recalled the moments of his tragic death.
"Unfortunately, during one of the many night visits, he was ambushed and seriously wounded. We found him bleeding, it was difficult to see in the night, and while we were carrying him, I felt blood on my hands. After about a hundred meters, we reached the car, who will transport him to the hospital.
Tragically, that hero died of severe wounds while we were carrying him. When we sat down, thinking of him in silence, I wanted to touch the rosary, however, it was no longer around my neck. I got up and unbuttoned my jacket and shirt, and still found him. She stayed around the dogs because my belt was tight so she couldn't fall out. Sign? I don't know, but I believe it is.
I folded it and put it around my neck again. Whenever I see or have a rosary in my hand, I remember Brdar, I remember that night when the brave life of a young man and hero ended."
