This is video 1 of a series of 9 videos honoring Lebanese Army Martyr, Major General Khalil Kanaan ( www.khalilkanaan.com ), on the 25th commemorative year of his assassination.

The video shows General Kanaan, then commander of the Lebanese Army's 5th Brigade, visiting a 5th Brigade contingent. He parades and salutes his officers and soldiers, before the Lebanese flag is hoisted with due respect.
The video denotes the man's leadership qualities and firm footsteps. It includes General Kanaan saluting and shaking hands with Martyr officer François El Hajj, then a junior officer in the 5th Brigade (at 0:50 in the video).
General Kanaan was criminally assassinated in his bedroom at night by militia men few months after this footage.
