and security deserved to a nation.

Colegio Militar Academia General Santander was re-founded on 1 January 2009
in Facatativá (Cundinamarca) by the brothers Carlos Alberto and Ricardo
Contreras Peña, two retired officers of the Colombian National Armyo.
Francisco de Paula Santander (1792-1840) contributed to the victories at the
battles of Vargas Swamp and Boyacá in 1819, being rewarded with promotion to the
rank of Commanding General. He subsequently served as Vice President of Gran
Colombia from 1821 to 1827. In 1828, Bolívar, in strong disagreement with
Santander, proclaimed himself Dictator and abolished the office of Vice
President. Back from European exile after Bolívar's death, Santander served as
the 1st President of New Granada from 1832 to 1836.

on writing the pages of the national history, as leaders committed to justice,
loyalty, moral and ethics.
The shield is surmounted by a yellow scroll, a
color representing nobleness, prosperity, magnanimity, constancy, wealth,
splendor and power, inscribed in black letters with the name of the school.
Beneath the shield, another yellow scroll is inscribed with the school's motto
"Dios, Patria, Honor" [God, Motherland, Honor].
