Arnaud Beltrame was born on 18 April 1973 in étampes, in France. He has got two brothers: Damien and Cédric. His maternal family is native from Trédion, in the morbihan, where his grand-parents were beekeepers. His parents were nurses. He was a lieutenant colonel in the French gendarmerie nationale and deputy commander of the departmentale gendarmerie's Aude unit, who was hurt by a terrorist at trèbes in a Super U after having exchanged himself for a hostage, he died the next day because of his injuries.

124453Arnaud Beltrame in 2017Le Parisien For me, Arnaud is a hero because he is very courageous because he gave his life to protect and save the life of a woman during this hostage taking. Arnaud Beltrame was brave and humble. It's a example for me because he didn't hesitate to protect the life of a woman, it is a heroic act. This man was very amazing and honorable. Thanks to him, I would like to help people at my turn. With this story, I want, later, to work as a gendarme.
