Coinciding with the Day of the Dead, on November 2 the Spanish Armed Forces celebrate the Day of the Fallen for the Homeland.<\/p>\n

The meaning of the colors of the guidons and flags of the Spanish Army<\/a><\/rel>
\nCross of Burgundy: origin and history of the oldest of the flags of Spain<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

During this day, acts of homage to the Fallen are held in cemeteries in Spain, corresponding to different religious confessions, and also in Spanish military detachments abroad. You can see here some of the events held today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honor demanded it and they obeyed,
\nThe duty required them and they complied with it;
\nWith their blood they signed the company,
\nWith their effort the Homeland was enlarged.<\/p>\n

They were big and strong, because they were
\nFaithful to the oath they pledged.
\nThat's why, how brave they fought,
\nAnd as heroes they died.<\/p>\n

For the Homeland to die was their destiny,
\nloving Spain, their eternal passion,
\nserve in the Armies, their vocation and fate.<\/p>\n

They did not want to serve another Flag,
\nThey did not want to walk another way,
\nThey did not know how to live otherwise.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
