!Artigas Day¡

On June 19th, Uruguay commemorates José Gervasio Artigas, the nation's revered leader and hero. This celebration coincides with the National Holiday, marked by official military parades in major cities. While many display the national flag in their windows, the observance remains subdued. Artigas, born in Montevideo in 1764, played a crucial role in Uruguay's history, becoming a key figure against Spanish rule. As we honor his legacy, it's heartening to see how the people still cherish the values and contributions of this national icon.
