Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly pays tribute to 1982 British landing
The Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly on Thursday issued an official statement commemorating Landing Day, the date that recalls the arrival of British forces at San Carlos Bay on 21 May 1982, during the war between the United Kingdom and Argentina over sovereignty of the archipelago. The institutional declaration pays tribute to "the courage and sacrifice of those who came to restore our freedom and right to self-determination" and emphasizes that "the service of all who supported the liberation of our Islands will never be forgotten."
