Fidel Castro Ruz
Santiago de Cuba’s Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, declared a National Monument given its historic, architectural and cultural value, became the place of a solemn and private ceremony to give sacred burial to a man who does not definitely departs but is on his way to glory, to immortality. We are all convinced that your history does not go with you, it will stay with this people who admires and respects your greatness.
The Cuba’s voice says: ‘’I AM FIDEL!’’. Men and women of your people, to whom you devoted your life, will always remember you. You do not leave my Gallant Knight, you will remain fighting against the windmills; and like Sancho, your people will fight with you. You challenged the empire, you showed that there is no Goliath, if David is well prepared for battle; you will never be gone, undefeated and glorious Comandante. In Santa Ifigenia your ashes will rest, guarding Cubans’ dreams, fight and future.
The strong voice of our President Raúl, ratified: "for the poor and dispossessed of the world, YES IT IS POSSIBLE !!!" You will never be gone, my Gallant Knight; you will be among children, young and every woman who like me will preserve your image.
