Like fertile seeds, defying time and distance, two men endure in the memory of their island and by inexplicable coincidence history brings them closer in their birth.
Antonio Maceo Grajales and Ernesto “Ché” Guevara de la Serna. The former, Cuban, son of a lion lineage; the latter, Argentinean from the Latin America that unites us. Genius and legend united these two mortals.
Machete, rifle and gunpowder for a dreamed freedom, always accompanied these legendary souls, not only of ideas but also of struggles. They bathed with courage the road to the progress of the homeland. With example they fructified the good that today different generations of sons and daughters of the nation are grateful for.
Maceo and Che
Antonio Maceo, the best known Cuban warrior in Latin America, is distinguished by his horse and the cry of ¡A degüello! To Che, his participation in the epic of Granma, the Sierra, the Invasion, the Battle of Santa Clara, and other exploits.
He was the Bronze Titan, the right-handed horseman with machete in hand in self-defense, intelligent, disciplined and attacking. He was the Ché of indomitable energy due to his Quixotic spirit.
Today both ride a Rocinante of the future. Maceo and Ché, carry with them a sun of wills on their foreheads that interweaving feats, seem as one. These men of yesterday and today, share their own image and our beautiful flag of the lone star, they share the new model of socialist development of their Cuba that venerates them.
And in this pilgrimage, both march swiftly because they do not need the revolutionary drive to continue the struggle. These two heroes of different times but lovers of the same cause, become icons of unforgettable fathers, whose legacy to their children transcends in the fertilization of Cubans who did not have the opportunity to know them.
Because Maceo and Ché are two protagonists of the revolutionary people, two legends proud of their Cuba in transformation, two progenitors who made the seed of fertility germinate, whose memorable date transcends June 14, day of two births of universal and eternal renown.
