More importantly, we believe that it was the right thing to do &#8211; and for this we are grateful to them.<br \/>So no, the men named on this memorial did not die in vain.<br \/>That is why we honour them here today and will continue to honour them as long as the values for which they gave their lives, hold sway in our\u00a0 emocratic society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a5d44a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4a5d44a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"655\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/lastpost.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MottrieBenoit-2021.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34099\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastpost.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MottrieBenoit-2021.jpg 655w, https:\/\/lastpost.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MottrieBenoit-2021-600x440.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastpost.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/MottrieBenoit-2021-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toespraak door Benoit Mottrie, voorzitter van de Last Post Association Premier, minister, excellenties, burgemeester, dames en heren, ladies and gentlemen, At the time, people believed that the First World War would be the war to end all wars.Sadly, it wasn&#8217;t.Just twenty years later, the world was in flames again, and even as we speak armed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":43638,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[225,200],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2022-nieuws","category-nieuws"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
