August 17 marks a new anniversary of the death of General San Martin, the Liberator of America. In Argentina he is recognized as the "Father of the Nation". On the anniversary of the death of General José de San Martín, we commemorate the figure of one of the greatest leaders of our country. Our "Liberator" is considered the main hero and national hero. In addition, his military expeditions were fundamental in the struggles for the emancipation of Chile and Peru.
The crossing of the Andes in 1817, the second highest mountain range on the planet, is considered to this day one of the most outstanding military feats in the world.
In Peru, he is remembered as the liberator of that country, with the titles of "Founder of the Freedom of Peru", "Founder of the Republic" and "Generalissimo de las Armas". In Chile, his army has distinguished him with the rank of Captain General.
