Frustrated with their limited influence over their home country, the Colombian people rioted in protest of the unfair treatment. Today, Colombians remember the victory with a sense of hope for a peaceful resolution to the violence and drug crimes that have continued to plague the country. They commemorate the day by celebrating their country's rich history, culture and people. That's why, here in the states, we're recognizing the South American country's victory with our own tribute to their people; namely, their beautiful female population.
