Lebanon Army Day


 

Lebanon celebrates its annual Army Day on August 1st. This date marks the official establishment of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) under the authority of the Lebanese National Government in 1945. 

The day is dedicated to honouring the soldiers who protect Lebanon, demonstrating loyalty and commitment to the country's safety and sovereignty. It's a day of pride, honour, and remembrance for the sacrifices made by the armed forces. 

On this day, tributes are paid to the military personnel and fallen soldiers, recognizing the army as a crucial institution that embodies Lebanon's independence and safeguards its security. Lebanese Army Day also emphasizes the importance of consolidating state authority and ensuring the Lebanese Armed Forces remain the sole legitimate bearer of arms in the country. 

While the day is observed annually, the nature of celebrations can vary depending on the prevailing circumstances in the country.
