In Catamarca, Mayor Gustavo Saadi and the Centro de Excombatientes de Malvinas de Catamarca signed a framework agreement for several infrastructure and commemorative projects. These initiatives include the refurbishment of the veterans' social headquarters and the creation of monuments and murals to honor fallen soldiers.

In Luján, plans were announced for the first National Pilgrimage of Malvinas War Veterans, scheduled for September 20. Organized by the municipality in collaboration with veterans' federations and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Luján, the event will feature a march, official ceremonies, and a Holy Mass. The location is symbolically significant due to the historical connection between the Virgin of Luján and Argentine soldiers during the 1982 conflict.
