On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the passing of the Kataeb's founding president, Pierre Gemayel, party leader Samy Gemayel shared a heartfelt tribute lauding his grandfather as the epitome of excellence and a visionary founder, whose legacy extends beyond the establishment of the Kataeb Party to the creation of a national and moral institution whose principles continue to guide their path.

"From you, we learned to revere Lebanon, both as a homeland and as a people. Your teachings instilled in us the value of selfless sacrifice for our compatriots, humility, honesty, transparency, and, most importantly, the belief that nothing is impossible with determination," Gemayel wrote on his X account. 

"Forty years after your passing, the institution you founded remains steadfast, and your comrades are at the forefront of the struggle in defense of Lebanon and its people. You are the rock upon which Lebanon was built, and we are its devoted soldiers," he concluded.
