Havana, Feb 20.- Personnel from the Cuba Firefighters Corps (CBC, by its acronym in Spanish) held an emotional exchange in the capital with the protagonists who confronted the terrorist attack perpetrated by United States forces against Venezuela, last January 3, when they kidnapped the constitutional president NicolásMaduro Moros and his wife Cilia Flores.
A minute of silence in memory of the 32 Cubans who fell in the line of duty marked the beginning of the meeting, where the screening of the audiovisual material "Honor and Glory," from the Political Directorate (DSP,by its acronym in Spanish), moved those present and gave way to a dialogue charged with patriotic sentiment, reported the Ministry of the Interior (Minint) on its official site.
The agency added that visibly moved by the warm reception, the heroes expressed being very grateful for the recognition of their courage and patriotism.
"Representing Cuba in Venezuelan lands has been the greatest honor of our lives, because we carry in our hearts the certainty that our people are a heroic people, mambí, and that the slogan 'Homeland or Death' is not an empty phrase, but the deepest conviction that we would die with dignity for our patriotic principles," they agreed in expressing.
When delivering an institutional stimulus on behalf of all Cuban firefighters, First Colonel Luis Carlos Guzmán Matos, head of the CBC, assured that this modest recognition is a symbol of the immense pride we feel for having them here, in their home.
"You have demonstrated with actions that courage has no limits when it comes to defending the Revolution. In you we see reflected the indomitable spirit of our people. And I want you to know, with the same certainty with which we handle our work equipment to save lives, that this firefighting corps is willing to exchange them for a rifle if necessary to defend the Revolution and our sister nations."
The day, presided over by Guzmán Matos, also had the presence of Colonel Tania GrajalesColumbié, second head of the Political Directorate of Minint; and other DSP leaders, officers, combatants, soldiers, and civilian workers of the CBC. (Source: ACN)
