Today we pray to God for all the victims of the conflict, fathers, mothers, brothers and children, who suffered this situation framed in the historical memory of our country to never forget.
The National Army reconstructs the historical memory of our country, through places or memory spaces that make victims (civilians and members of the Security forces) visible. As a form of symbolic reparation for victims, according to the Law 1448, the Institution has contributed to the memory of the internal armed conflict with the construction of these emblematic spaces.
In Bogotá, in the military museum there is the room of Memory and Dignity of the Security forces “SP Libio José Martínez Estrada”. In Bucaramanga, there is the Memory Room inside the Cultural Center of Oriente. In San Vicente and Carmen del Chucurí, there is a space that recognizes and dignifies the victims of the internal armed conflict with a regional perspective. That is why the Eighth Division deployed throughout the Colombian Orinoquía region with the Support Battalion of Comprehensive Action and Development No.8, promotes the initiative of the Historical Center of the East, a space that will dignify and make visible men and women of the territory, who in the context of the conflict, suffered the consequences of the war.
The construction of historical memory is a fundamental task that aims to contribute to the construction of the history of the conflict, being vital to make the public, especially children and young people, know testimonies, life accounts, faces, narrations and traces that 60 years of violence in Colombia have left.
