Argentina's national flag day Today we celebrate the national flag day in Argentina to remember the day in which its creator Manuel Belgrano died. Manuel Belgrano is not only the one who created our flag he is also one of the most important historical characters for my country and he played an important role in our independency as a country. To create the flag he was inspired by the colours of the Virgin Mary so he took them for create it which was raised for first time in the city of Rosario near the river Parana, where also were Belgrano’s grave. Belgrano died absolutely poor because he gave all his money to charity and education specially to build school all over the country, but sadly most of his money never reach the objectives it was stolen. There is a famous story where before his death he had to pay to the doctor with a clock made of gold because he hasn’t nothing more. I think today Belgrano is an inspiration of a honesty guy who only wanted the best for his country a no money instead of.
