I celebrated the death of Simon Bolivar for me. This person liberty some country of america as: Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombian and Venezuelan.
He was born in Caracas - Venezuelan but He died in Santa Marta- Colombian because in these moment he was looking for by his enemies in Venezuela. But with the pass the time his body is in the Pateon Nacional in Caracas- Venezuela. Simon Bolivar is called the father of the fatherland. The most of the countries have a monument of him. Also there are many Public Squares called with his name.
