Ceremonies: in Condom, when remembering rhymes with the future

In the past, the population of Condom has been affected in its flesh and soul through armed conflicts (14-18, 39-45, etc.). So, not to forget these events which influenced the geopolitical data of the present and to invite us to build a serene future, the columns of the war memorial (at the Allées Charles-de-Gaulle) image a history made of peace with this great ” H” written with the white plume, symbol of pacification.

Even today, local associations heal the wounds of these troubled times. Thus, Veterans and War Victims (ACVG) supports veterans of all conflicts and external operations, victims and widows of war. In conjunction with the National Veterans Office (Onac), the ACVG defend the rights of veterans, help with procedures for applications for veterans' cards, widows' cards, retirement cards, promotions, etc.
