FLAG`S DAY
The Day of the National Flag is the holiday dedicated to the Argentine flag. It was created by Manuel Belgrano. It is celebrated on June 20th, the anniversary of Belgrano's death in 1820. This date was designated in 1938.
The main seat of the Flag Day commemorations is the National Flag Memorial, in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, where the flag was first hoisted on two artillery batteries in opposite banks of the Paraná River. (The flag was created on 27 February 1812, but that date is not officially marked in any way.) The celebration consists of a public meeting, speeches by the municipal and provincial authorities, the attendance of the President, and a parade including members of the military, veterans of the Falklands War, the police force, and a number of civilian organizations and associations.
The Flag Day was created by the law Nº 12.361, on June 8, 1938. Initially, it was a celebration held in a fixed day, but the law Nº 24.445 modified it to be celebrated on the third Monday of the month.

Hello Mark! I'm inEngland , It's a beautiful place. The weather is excellent. How is the weather like in Cordoba ? I think it's cold.
Hello Mark! I'm in
Well, I want to tell you about this travel. I won a scholarship and I travelled with my entire family, including mi lizard, Harry. I have known lot of places, and I have met a lot of interesting and famous people since I am here. For example: I MET MESSI last week. I couldn’t believe my eyes! Can you believe it? I was walking along the street when I saw Messi eating in a restaurant called "Mixer". He is tall and thin. He is kind and intelligent. I entered into the restaurant and he gave me an autograph. The restaurant was so nice that I decided to have lunch there. I ate a lot of new things. Empanadas with pig (what were delicious) enchilada; what were SO spicy! I have already tried typical food.
I have also been to the Buckingham Palace , the London Eye and the Chelsea Stadium. They are enormous!
I have a girlfriend now. Her name is Oriana. She is beautiful and she has blond hair. Good,
That’s all for now
See you!
