Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun has stressed during a ceremony to commemorate the army martyrs that “we will pursue the path of struggle in order to build the country that they dreamed of and were martyred for its sake.”
In a ceremony organized by the FPM in Northern Metn’s Dbaye district, Aoun added: “We had fought along their side not to meet death, but rather to live freely on this land, and we had always known that some of us would sacrifice to salvage the others.”
“They fell in the arena of honor, giving value to our existence, a meaning to our lives and a symbol to our dignity,” Aoun, the former army commander, added.
Lebanon will celebrate its 66th national Army Day on Monday.
