Edvard Peperko was born on this day in 1966.
His home was from Kamnik, and he also temporarily lived in Domžale for a while. Before joining the Slovenian Territorial Defense, he was employed as a salesman at the Svilanit factory. Non-commissioned officer Peperko, a member of the sabotage platoon of the Territorial Defense, was shot in the chest by specialists of the Yugoslav Army on June 27, 1991 in Trzin, and while being transported to the hospital, near Šentjakob, he succumbed to the gunshot wound. He was one of the first victims of the Slovenian War of Independence.
He left behind his wife and daughter.
On October 26, 1991, he was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit – the highest military decoration of the Republic of Slovenia – for his outstanding bravery in war and special sacrifice in combat missions.
In 1992, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Freedom of the Republic of Slovenia with the justification: “for exceptional services in the defense of freedom and the enforcement of the sovereignty of the Republic of Slovenia”.
In 2012, the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Slovenia named the Edvard Peperk barracks in Ljubljana after him (formerly the Franc Rozman – Staneta barracks).

Slava mu!
Nepriljubljeno mnenje: Franc je več naredil za svobodo Slovenije.

Slava mu, heroju
Danes pa predsednik DZ potuje v Beograd na pogovore o priznanju srbske manjsine.
27. junija se spominjamo tudi smrti Tonija Mrlaka, ki so ga ubili, ker je prevažal kruh.
Toni Mrlak RIP

Slava mu. Umrl je z idejo o Sloveniji osvobojeni prejšnjega režima, žal ni vedel kakšna bo situacija čez 30 let.

Večna slava herojem slovenske države!
zahtevamo preiskavo, zakaj so bili jugoslovanski vojni zločinci pred slovenskimi sodišči oproščeni vseh kaznivih dejanj in zahtevamo ponoven vpogled v primer “izbrisani”. Osamosvojitve nam ne bodo odvzeli, če so nam že identiteto, državo in srednjeevropsko kulturo.
Še en, ki je padel leta 1991 je bil civilist Stanislav Požar, ki je bil zaposlen v vojašnici Pivka in sabotiral tanke JLA. Bil je ustreljen na barikadi na poti v službo. Podčastnika JLA, ki ga naj bi ustrelil so aretirali na Švedskem vendar ga Švedska vlada ni želela izročiti Sloveniji. Po njem se imenuje vojašnica v Pivki
Slava heroju!
Bogi model in družina. Ampak… poimenovat našo glavno vojašnico po njem je, milo rečeno, čudno. Franc Rozman je bil recimo prekaljen borec, partizanski general. Edvard pa je bil – kljub žrtvi – zgolj vojak. Ne vem, meni se ne zdi primerno. Spomenik, ja, že za družino. Ampak celo vojašnico?
Večna vam hvala fante prve generacije🫡🇸🇮
Večna slava mu.
