Arnaud Jean-Georges Beltrame (French pronunciation: [aʁno ʒɑ̃ ʒɔʁʒ bɛltʁam]; 18 April 1973 – 24 March 2018) was a lieutenant colonel in the French Gendarmerie nationale and deputy commander of the Departmental Gendarmerie's Aude unit,[3] who was murdered by an Islamic terrorist at Trèbes after having exchanged himself for a hostage.[1] French President Emmanuel Macron said that Beltrame deserved "the respect and admiration of the whole nation."[4] A state funeral was held at Les Invalides, Paris; for his bravery and adherence to duty he was posthumously promoted to the rank of colonel and made a Commander of the Legion of Honour.[5][6]
