Yes, Remembrance is a guiding principle for action,
and that is why I wish to emphasise
here that the commemoration of November 11th has
its place in every school in France.
This is precisely the aim of the fourth initiative
of the Veterans Conference, which seeks to
place young people at the heart of the transmission of Remembrance
and civic engagement.
Young people as custodians of memory.
That is why the links between the veterans community
and the national education system
are being further strengthened, notably through initiatives such
as defence and national cohesion classes.
And national cohesion.
