The Armed Forces Commander General Joseph Aoun inaugurated this morning the barrack of martyr Major Roger Harfoush in Jezzine and unveiled a memorial named after the martyr as well as a memorial for the martyrs of the 7th Infantry Brigade inside the barrack and placed a wreath of flowers.
Moreover, General Aoun inaugurated the Jezzine infirmary and toured the divisions, then met with the officers and soldiers and addressed them saying: “the Independence Day that we are preparing to celebrate was not accomplished without sacrifices and it cannot be maintained without sacrifices. It is entrusted with Independence, just as are the Lebanese. We have named this barrack after martyr Major Roger Harfouch, in appreciation of his sacrifices and to confirm that the LAF will not forget the martyrs. The LAF will keep its vow, offering further sacrifices. We have faced major challenges in the past, but we are fully prepared to do more.”
General Aoun also stated that the LAF Command is working on developing the military hospital and supporting the military healthcare in region in order to lighten the administrative burdens and the troublesome long distance commute from beneficiaries.
General Aoun also called on soldiers to be more vigilant so that they are responsible and at the hopes of the Lebanese. He also stressed the importance of keeping away from everything that targets professionalism and ethical values, particularly narcotics that lead to the destruction of the youth.
