Military historical memory involves the construction of the different military institutions' common past without its study necessarily depending on the recognition of the individual from a humanistic perspective. The objective of this proposal is to analyze, from the perspective of life stories, the experiences of national heroes and their contribution to the construction of military historical memory. Using the symbiosis between the historical analysis of the armed conflict and the accounts of active officers of the Escuela Militar de Cadetes "General José María Córdova" that were part of units directly related to the armed confrontation in the Colombian context. We highlight their participation as historical generative actors.

Keywords : armed conflict; life stories; military historical memory; historical memory.
