The history of the Cuban Revolution is in the books, on the streets, on the walls of a fort and in the minds of those who performed heroic deeds like the young people who led by Fidel Castro attacked the Moncada Garrison on July 26, 1953, the country's second most important military fortress.
The history of the Cuban Revolution is in the books, on the streets, on the walls of a fort and in the minds of those who performed heroic deeds like the young people who led by Fidel Castro attacked the Moncada Garrison on July 26, 1953, the country's second most important military fortress.
So for those born with the Cuban Revolution, that part of our history is not only to be evoked. It is also an eternal commitment to remain faithful to those pursuing a possible dream, let their blood within the walls of the Moncada.
They were lovers of life, family, girlfriend, poetry, but not seat to contemplate this sad reality where hunger and misery lorded.
Unemployed who were at a dead end, big extensions of uncultivated land, over 2 million people in the rural and suburban population without electricity service, malnourished children, private health services and 90 percent of the population semiliterate, make that scenario that the Generation of the Centenary was decided to change with weapons in their hands.
In the distance, we who did not have the opportunity, for being in different epochs, to be on the Moncada attacks, disembarking on the yacht Granma or being with Fidel in the heroic days of Sierra Maestra, we are convinced that we would have been like them and they would be like us today.
That´s why young Cubans and Guantanamo residents have turned our Moncada, in our Granma and our Sierra Maestra into the programs promoted by the Cuban revolution: the battle for order, discipline and economic and social development we are involved with the guide the Communist Party and Raúl Castro.
In this struggle we continue despite the blockade we are encouraged by the example of those young people whose blood traced the final journey to freedom conquered in 1959.
In these days of celebrations and recalling there is no better tribute to the heroes and martyrs of the Moncada events that consolidating their dreams that the Revolution has multiplied many times over in each region of the archipelago.
