Vertically fringed cloth loaded in its center by a radiant sun, similar to that of the National Flag behind this two lines of equal size of upper red and lower black, symbolizing the blood spilled in the operation theater and the black line the footprint of the ground forces (Argentine Army). On the upper end three broken lines is a symbol of the winds representing the Argentine Air Force. Lower edge wavy movement of lines is a symbol of the Argentine Navy. Thus leaving the veterans' flag with the three weapons that defended our area of honor and remembering the fallen in the line of duty. The contrasting colors indicate that absolutely not everything is won in victory and nothing is definitely lost in defeat: this vertical cut flag recalls one of the original ones given by General Manuel Belgrano to this land on February 27, 1812, in the Barrancas del Rio Parana, the first flag of Argentina.
