October 3 and 10 are the dates chosen. Then, approximately 500 relatives from Argentine soldiers fallen in the Malvinas War will travel to the Islands to open the cenotaph in Darwin cemetery. The monument was donated by Eduardo Eurnekian, president of Corporación América.
Eurnekian committed to build this site as a humble recognition of a sad episode that is deeply felt by the entire people of Argentina. The historic event in question was the Malvinas War, where thousands of young boys participated and sacrificed their lives to defend their and our homeland.
In the light of such an important development in Argentina, Mr. Eurnekian believes that the suffering of these young soldiers’ families deserves a place where they can feel themselves in communion with their beloved ones.
The monument that will be formally opened by the families was erected on April 8, 2004.
