[Theoria]

Rip Mr. Beltrame. Par excellence.

'Beltrame was a hero lieutenant-colonel who was knighted the Legion of Honor in May 2012.

The soldier was one of just a handful of candidates chosen to join the gendarmerie's elite GSIGN force in 2003.

He was deployed to Iraq in 2005, where he won a Cross for Military Valour.

Beltrame joined the Republican Guard protecting the presidential palace after returning from Iraq, and also worked as an advisor to the environment ministry.

He had been named just last year as deputy chief of the gendarmerie in the Aude.

And the courageous Frenchman was well-prepared for the terrifying situation he found himself in on Friday.'

I have been working half days this week (24 hrs in a day) and have been trying back track to the thread of the terror attack in France.
