Room of Honor of the Flags of America

The National Historic Monument to the Flag does itself evoke an almost reverential respect, but I cannot imagine what it must feel like to pass through the doors of the Hall of Honor of American Flags with the verses in my head that I sing more loudly when I hear the Hymn: "MAY THE LAURELES THAT WE OBTAINED BE ETERNAL " and to imagine that others, not us, made it humanly possible, and even impossible, to bequeath our free and sovereign land. Under the Propylaea, and entering via Santa Fe Street, on both sides of a colonnade in the center is a large and impeccable red carpet. You can also see the windows which are displayed in all their glory, the first flags hoisted in Buenos Aires in 1936 and June 20, 1938 when June 20 was established as Flag Day.

You can also see the shield, anthem and national flower of all American countries, in addition to those of Spain and Italy. The embroidered flag, which was donned by the rosarinas ladies on the opening day of the Monument - June 20, 1957 - is highlighted, in addition to the Shield of the OAS (Organization of American States), the flag donated by the Argentine Army in the 50th anniversary of the Monument´s inauguration, a replica of the Caravel Colombina, donated by the Institute of Hispanic Culture of Madrid on October 12, 1975, a glass box with soil brought from the Cook Fawns, Province Of Palencia. Spain, birthplace of the father of General San Martin. Two bronze medals commemorating the raising of the flag and it´s subsequent blessing, a replica of the sword that was used in the battles for independence Manuel Belgrano, Martin Guemes and Rudecindo Alvarado. The official flag fluttering in the Falkland Islands from April 2 to June 14, 1982, a chest with earth from the house of Christofer Colombus - Genoa, Italy, and the other containing the father's hometown of Don Manuel Belgrano-Empire, Italy. How is it then possible to not feel respect and excitement on entering this place.
