In the Korean and Viet Nam wars, a couple of blows were dealt to the "vigilante" army of Yankee imperialism. Another of the great embarrassments suffered by Uncle Sam's troops occurred in Playa Girón, where the Cuban militias, with more support for their courage than for good weapons, raised their rifles to the sky as a sign of victory.

From the new pines to 73

At the distance of almost half a century, Olivia remembers the phrase easily. "I trust the new pines," said that man today, faceless and nameless. You cannot ask so much to memory. But at 73 she can feel like at 27. At 73 you can conserve the energy that forges new pines.

Very few imagine that the blue scarf that children wear around their necks on October 8, as a symbol that they are starting out as pioneers, will mark them so much; that they will begin their journey through an organization with rebellious roots and Martí's essences, and that as happened to many of us, when our time to belong to it is running out, we want to continue being proud pioneers.

It is no coincidence that I need the assistance of Dr. Leosvel Pérez, a doctor from the Vertientes municipality, in this province, and a member of the Henry Reeve International Contingent, made up of Cuban Health personnel Specialized in Disaster Situations and Serious Epidemics.
