\"\"Guantanamo.- October 8 is a very special day for students joining the Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed Pioneer Organization in Guant\u00e1namo and throughout Cuba.<\/p>\n

As the country commemorates the centenary of the birth of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz and the 59th anniversary of the death in combat of Commander Ernesto \u201cChe\u201d Guevara, these students begin a new stage in their education this Thursday, embracing the principle that their primary duty is to study.<\/p>\n

It is also a day of pride for the teachers and family members who will help guide them as they grow into well-rounded revolutionaries and honorable men and women.<\/p>\n

Every October 8, the nation marks this special occasion in tribute to Che, who was wounded in combat in 1967 at Quebrada del Yuro, a rugged location in the Bolivian highlands. He was captured there and executed the following day.<\/p>\n

Yet Che lives on in the hearts of all those who believe that a better world is possible.<\/p>\n
