Regarding Bicentenario de Guatemala. This memorial to Guatemala's independence in 1821 from Spain also includes memorials to Guatemala's army, navy and air force. This is probably due to the memorial's proximity to the Guatemalan Air Force headquarters and is unusual as none of those organizations existed at the time of independence.
