The Pain Continues

I open the paper this morning, and I am instantly reminded of a very sad anniversary coming up: the 10th anniversary of the shoot down of the Brothers to the Rescue planes in the Florida Straits by Cuban MIGs.

The Miami Herald article is a sad testimony to the events of that day and how it's affected the families of those 4 young men who needlessly perished. If the article doesn't bring a tear to your eyes, then nothing will.

I have quite a few things to say about the whole incident 10 years ago on a cloudless late February day, but I'll wait until Friday to publish most of those.

I'll finish with this thought: if anyone reading this wonders why the Cuban community can't "let go" of their pain, why they can't forget everything that was taken away from them by castro and his evil regime (thanks Sean Hannity), why they mostly advocate a hard line against the regime, then perhaps this article, read in its entirety, can help explain all this.
