The March in March

March 24 is a National holiday because thirty-three years ago there was a military take over of the government. About five hundred thousand people marched up and down the streets with drums, yelling for more then seven hours. It was really annoying including the car horns from cars trying to get through the crowds. My Dad wanted to throw water balloons at them to shut them up. The military coup took over Argentina in the 70’s for eight years. Many who disagreed with the government were killed. Thirty thousand people died or disappeared during the eight years of this military government in Argentina. The people marched to commemorate this event.
