Aoun: 'The army’s martyrs wrote the purest pages of heroism with their blood'

On the occasion of Army Martyrs’ Day, President Joseph Aoun said:

“On this day, we stand in reverence before the memory of the martyrs of our national army, who gave their lives in sacrifice for Lebanon’s sovereignty, the unity of its land, and the dignity of its people. They were men who believed that the الوطن deserved the greatest sacrifices, so they walked the path of duty without hesitation and wrote, with their blood, the purest pages of heroism and belonging.

The martyrs of the Lebanese Army are not numbers to be forgotten with the passage of time; rather, they are a living symbol of the meaning of loyalty and sacrifice, and an example followed by every soldier who wears the military uniform today in defense of the nation’s borders, its institutions, and the security of its citizens. Their memory is a trust upon our shoulders, and our gratitude to them can only be fulfilled by preserving the values for which they were martyred: a free, sovereign, and independent Lebanon.

On this occasion, I affirm before the families of the martyrs and before all اللبنانيين that the Lebanese state remains faithful to its pledge, committed to caring for the families of the martyrs and safeguarding their legacy. Their memory will remain a beacon guiding us in the journey of building the nation and supporting its military institution, which embodies the unity of all Lebanese.

Glory to our martyrs, eternity to their memory, and honor to our army, the faithful guardian.”
