Dear Comandante (Fidel): More than 30 years ago our fathers bid us farewell; they left to continue the ideals of Bolivar, of Marti; a continent united and independent.  They also did not see this triumph.  They were aware that it takes great sacrifices to achieve great dreams.  We never saw them again.  At that time we were very young; now we are men and women, who are at this moment living through much pain and sorrow.  We know how things occurred and we suffer.  Today we receive their remains; they do not come defeated; they come as heroes forever young, valiant and strong.  Nobody can take that way from us;  they will always remain alive among their sons and their people.  They knew that they could always return to their people and that our people would receive them with love;  and that our love would heal their wounds; they knew that you would still be their friend, their leader.

That is why Comandante we ask you to have the honor of receiving their remains; because far from being our fathers they are the sons of the people that you so proudly represent; receive your comrades in arms, your companions.  We also would gladly give of our lives.

To eternal victory.  

Liberty or death, we shall overcome!  

ETERNAL GLORY

TO YOU

COMANDANTE
