The father of our country, the Bicentennial year, our sincere homage to the anniversary of his death.
the Father of the Nation :
José de San Martín, in the 160 th anniversary of his death.
August 17 marks 160 years of the death of Don José de San Martín, Argentina author of Independence and, along with Simon Bolivar, Liberator of America.
Today, August 17, marks the anniversary of the death of General San Martín, the Liberator of America. In Argentina we remember him as the "Father of the Fatherland." In Peru, is remembered as the liberator of that country, with the title "Founder of the Freedom of Peru", "Founding of the Republic" and "Generalissimo of Weapons." In Chile has emphasized its army with the rank Captain General.
But beyond its liberator, San Martin is a cornerstone in building our national identity (Bartolomé Mitre, through his monumental History of San Martin, and Ricardo Rojas with his Holy Sword, forged the image Hero). His celebrated figure in the world and their heroic proceed, we are reminded that other behavior (honesty, courage, dignity and resignation ...), another issue for the country is still possible. Therefore, recalling his life from the anniversary of his death is to remember that story we heard in school events of our childhood, the great story that shapes us as a community and we think and rethink on our way to a country fair, free and sovereign. Our respects to the memory of General Jose de San Martin.
