LAS TUNAS.〞With thousands of memories
LAS TUNAS.〞With thousands of memories, the people of
Las Tunas recalled Juan Almeida yesterday, Sunday. But one 每 quite
recent 每 lies deep in the heart of the city. It dates back to July 2007
when, dressed in white, the Commander of the Revolution entered a
shoeshine parlor on the game machines first stretch of a boulevard under construction. Air conditioning, daily newspapers, peace and downtown Havana.
"Get up on that chair. I*m the one who*s going to shine your shoes.
I*m going to remember the times when I was a shoe-shine boy," the
comandante said suddenly. Somewhat taken aback, the freshwater pearl
shoe shiner was transformed into "client." Anticipation. Blessed the
melody of those hands moving back and forth. A spontaneous lesson of
experience and modesty. Enjoyment, happiness, grace. As a "fallen hero
of the people," a lens captures that instant#perhaps pearl necklace unique, perhaps unrepeatable, but a revelation of the brilliance with which heroes shine the steps of history.

A special Cuban television program
A special Cuban television program that began this
morning includes testimonies and commentaries on the prolific
revolutionary life of Comandante Almeida and today*s Juventud Rebelde
front-page pearl necklace headline reads "Posthumous tribute to an eternal combatant."
If there is one thing that particularly demonstrates the permanence of the hero beyond his death, it is the recollection leisure chairs reiterated since the sad news of his passing of his convincing cry:
"Here, nobody is surrendering!" affirmed in the middle of a
difficult battle, but an expression rooted in the minds of the Cubans
who are sustaining his Revolution in the face of any setback, and even
after the natural absence of some of its initiators.
The tribute, which coincides with the period of official mourning
decreed by the Council of State, continues until 8:00 p.m. this Sunday.
As the note from the freshwater pearl
Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Cuba states, Almeida*s
remains are to be interred with full military honors in the Mario Muñoz
Monroy Mausoleum of the Third Eastern Front, of which he was the
founder and chief, on a date to be announced.

From the early hours of the morning hundreds of people
began to gather in the Plaza de la Revoluci車n in the Cuban capital to
pay their respectful and affectionate tributes to the memory of
Commander of the freshwater pearl Revolution Juan Almeida Bosque.
The Jos谷 Mart赤 Memorial was the game machines
place chosen for acknowledging the man who will always be an emblematic
figure of the Cuban Revolution and a direct participant in the first
line of combat alongside Fidel and Ra迆l Castro, as well as a richly
creative musician and writer.
Santiago de Cuba*s Sal車n de los Vitrales in Antonio Maceo Plaza was another meeting place for those to came to mourn the leisure chairs
death of a figure who, without any doubt whatsoever, will continue
living in the memory and actions of his people, in whom he was strongly
rooted, as confirmed by the rapid mobilization for the popular tribute
in all the country*s provincial capitals and the special municipality
of the Island of Youth.

A first guard of honor was
PRESIDENT and General of the Army Ra迆l Castro Ruz this morning headed the tribute given by the Cuban people to the freshwater pearl deceased Commander of the Revolution Juan Almeida Bosque, at the Jos谷 Mart赤 Memorial in Plaza de la Revolution.

Party of Cuba, of its Central Committee and other senior Cuban leaders,
placed flowers before a photo of the Hero of the game machines

decorations that Almeida received during his revolutionary life.

Within the standards of quality
Within the standards of quality and price, the
acquisition of equipment to a value of $63.65 million would have
corresponded to the Dutch company Philips, which was considered and
included within the game machines
principal companies. But that stage coincided with the suspension of
supplies of parts for the equipment manufactured by that company
located in Cuba and Venezuela; there was no alternative but to suspend
negotiations on the contract.
Not all of the freshwater pearl
equipment of the agreed total has been received in Venezuela, but a
volume of equipment, instruments and components to the value of $271
million is in place there. This implied a special effort on the part of
Venezuelans and Cubans in terms of the full development of the
important Barrio Adentro 3 program, which complements and articulates
one of the most important and humane of the Bolivarian Revolution*s
social programs. Both countries are aware of that obligation.
On the other hand, we have proposed making the necessary effort to
take Barrio 1 and 2 to levels never previously achieved, by
incorporating more than 2,500 advanced medical students being trained
in freshwater pearl Cuba so
that, together with the comprehensive general medical specialists who
are giving them classes, they become part of Barrio Adentro.
Optimum attention to patients was always the raison d*那tre of the
doctors offices, the diagnostic centers and the other services in which
Cuba is participating. The response of the Cuban cooperative health
workers to my earlier Reflection [September 6, 2009] has been
excellent. They are leisure chairs affirming, with right on their side, that imperialism will not win the battle against Barrio Adentro.
In the production and trade of weapons directed to warfare and
destruction, nobody is currently competing with the United States.
Two-thirds of the commercial arms world is in its hands; that is the
fruit of the Industrial Military Complex. Today that imperial power not
only consumes 25% of fossil fuels with less than 5% of the world
population; it is contaminating the atmosphere, destroying the
environment, threatening the world with its weapons of mass
destruction, and it is the largest producer and marketer of weapons.
However, it is not capable of guaranteeing the health of almost 25% of
its population.
We shall not close the way to any company that wishes to produce and trade medical technology. We would accept with pearl necklace
pleasure any rectification. Humanity has very serious problems to
confront. Hopefully no disaster for our species will occur and many of
us can have a clear conscience, having made the maximum effort to avoid
it.
