January 15 represents an important date for the National Army, reminiscent of the event of one of the most significant battles in the process of independence of our country.
As usual, in the municipality of Popay谩n, the Twenty Ninth Brigade through the Battalion of Support and Services for Combat No.29 conducts a heartfelt celebration at the Hacienda Calib铆o, an environment where in 1814, royalist and patriots clashed in battle which led to the Patriot Army, led by General Antonio Nari帽o, to free the city of Popay谩n of the power of the Spaniards.
The Battle of Calib铆o is a historical event that places Popay谩n within the liberating deed and in the different Campaigns of the South that sought to defeat the royalist offensive in New Granada.
Lieutenant Colonel Dar铆o Fernando P茅rez, commander of the Battalion of Support and Services for Combat No.29 highlighted the importance of carrying out this type of commemorations, which seeks to remember the events that are part of the history of our peoples.
