But do you know why Army Day is celebrated on May 29 and not on another date? Coming up next, we tell you.
How was Army Day born?
Army Day "He was born with the Fatherland," says the motto of the Argentine Army . And in fact it is true, a few days after the Revolution, the First Government Junta created the Argentine Army on May 29, 1810.
In this way the first units were organized on the viceregal structure. However, 6 years later, the formation of the "Patriot Army" took place, which began the path to the Independence of our country, declared six years later.
Among the arguments of the First Junta, the role of the Army was highlighted and the decisive action of the “military bodies” was highlighted during the May Revolution that took place a few days ago.
And so, for this reason, the commemoration of Army Day is celebrated on May 29 throughout the Argentine national territory.
