Subject: The Flag of the United States of
America, AWESOME !!!!!

To all of you, if you reed this article, you
will notice that it mention San Juan Hill, Cuba.
My grand father's brother fought there for the
independence of Cuba during the Spanish/American
war. After the his return, he advised my grand
father to take my grand mother to Cuba to see if
the climate will help her get well from
tuberculosis. My grand father took the whole
family and went to Victoria de Las Tunas and
settled in the community of Omaha where there
were about 2,000 Americans and they built the
first sugar mill and power plant. Unfortunate, my
grand mother and an uncle die there, my grand
father came back to Virginia, raised the family.
Then, he and my father went to work in the
Panama Canal for few years. Then, in 1914, my
father and my mother went to Cuba , they settled
in Rialengo and Cueto, Oriente where we were
born. After their death, my father in 1948, I came
to the USA. The best country of the world.
God Bless America, the land of opportunity for
all.

For those that don't read English, viva cuba
libre.
Freedom for Cuba= libertad para Cuba.
