MALVINAS AND ITS VETERANS

MALVINAS

APRIL 2

1982-2020

ON APRIL 2 1982 ARGENTINE FORCES INVADED AND OCCUPIED MALVINAS ISLANDS TO CLAIM SOVEREIGNTY .

THE WAR LASTED 74 DAYS. OUR TROOPS WERE RAW RECRUITS. POORLY TRAINED AND NOT PREPARED TO FIGHT. ALTHOUGH IT WAS REMARKABLE THE COURAGE THESE YOUNG SOLDIERS AS WELL AS NURSES AND DOCTORS SHOWED.

THE WAR ENDED ON JUNE 14. AT LEAST 649 ARGENTINE SOLDIERS DIED IN THE FIELDS.

TODAY OUR COUNTRY KEEPS CLAIMING MALVINAS SOVEREIGNTY. ON THE OTHER HAND AFTER 38 YEARS WE STILL HAVE A DEBT . SOCIETY CAN'T FORGET THE ONES THAT  PUT AT RISK THEIR LIVES AND  RETURNED WITH  ILLNESSES , POST TRAUMATIC  STRESS DISORDER, ETC.  WE SHOULD REFLECT ON THE LACK  OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, BENEFITS AND SUPPORT  OVER THE YEARS.

  VETERANS DESERVE ALL OUR RESPECT AND HONOUR.  

CAN YOU WRITE SOME WORDS TO THOSE HEROES ?
