On this day of mourning after our national tragedy the heroic attempt by Cuban patriots to retake their homeland from a murderous dictator can seem to many of us a minor event in history. But the sacrifice of these brave souls 46 years ago should never be forgotten and serves as a shining example of duty, honor and love of country that every American should emulate. That the Bay of Pigs invasion failed, and America didn’t keep her promise to liberate the island is a blot on our national honor, one that can only be removed by supporting brave anti-Communists who are still fighting in many theaters in Latin America, waiting for help to arrive.

Remember the fallen, and honor their sacrifice. One day Cuba will be free.

Thanks to Uncommon Sense for reminding me of it.
