Happy St Patrick's Day

And together with Saint Patrick´s Day, I want to remember also the memory of Admiral William Brown, originary from County Mayo, Ireland whose death we mourned on the 3rd of March..... the sailor that kept at bay the all powerful Spanish navy until the independence of my home country was safe... and then defeated without any problem the powerful empire of Brasil...

Many thanks for Ireland for giving to all the Argentines such a son that became the adoptive son of Argentina..... In three ocations he was called to arms to defend the freedom of the lands he chose as his...... always triumphant against horrible odds..... some of his most famous battles were fought in front of Buenos Aires in plain view of his "folks"......

In Argentina, we conside the "Fathers of the country" : General San Martin, Liberator of Argentina, Chile and Perú. And admiral William F.Brown... the Invincible Admiral.

I wish we would have had more people like them.

Cheers,

with the morning of the eighteenth."  ~Author Unknown

May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long."  - Irish Blessing
