Elie retweetledi

On this day in 1992, in Achrafieh, Nadim Abdel Nour was carrying his young son during a quiet family moment when gunmen of the Syrian occupation surrounded him.
He knew escape was impossible, and that any resistance could turn the street into blood-perhaps beginning with his own child.
So he let his five-year-old son go, and with a father's final courage, said :
"If you want to kill me, kill me... but not in front of my son."
Then he whispered:
"Run, son."
The child stepped away...
And Nadim was struck down by the bullets of that same ruthless security regime.
Though the Lebanese State may delay in honoring their sacrifice,
blood shed for its freedom can never be erased-for such souls are destined for glory.
