Today is Malvinas Day, a public holiday in Argentina. It is officially called Day of the War Veterans and the Fallen in the Malvinas Islands (Día del Veterano de Guerra y los Caídos en las Islas Malvinas).
The Malvinas Islands are probably better known in the English-speaking world by their British name, the Falklands. The holiday is a tribute to Argentina’s fallen soldiers in the Falklands War, which began with the Argentine occupation of the Islands on April 2nd 1982.
