Welcome to
Major General Khalil Kanaan's official website. The site is a tribute to a remarkable man, exceptional officer and martyr-symbol of the Lebanese Army. His memory remains alive in the hearts of all those who valued his presence in their lives as a husband, a brother, an uncle, a friend, a comrade and a commander. On his arm, he wore the emblem of the 5th Brigade which read: "رمادي حياة للبنان". May his sacrifice and the sacrifice of his fellow Lebanese Army martyrs truly "give life to Lebanon". |
