Every August in Cuba grows to catch men who are born in instants of life, like Fidel Castro, to keep the flame that lights the universe with his ideals and conquests.
Every August in Cuba multiplies in honor of the Commander in Chief when approaching the 13th, because his homeland feels proud of the most worthy son of Martí, who made his work come true.
August is the calendar of the birth of a unique man in Cuba and the world, who in every battle demonstrated the value of his doctrines, a warrior who nested in the breast of every woman, old man or child the kindness difficult to forget.
It is Fidel who resurfaces for his greatness, for being the Quixote who raised his voice for the welfare of all human beings and the struggle for world peace.
With devotion your Cuba loves you, just as you loved the 26th in the former Moncada Barracks, just as you knew how to disembark on the Granma, to become more immense in the Sierra Maestra.
The proximity of your 97th birthday this August 13, rides in this miraculous hour when all of us in love with your creation walk gratefully for your legacy, for our genuine Cuban identity, for our authentic Revolution.
We walk with you, prophet of the dawn, with your humanist thought as our bedside book. By all means, we feel your faith in science and its makers, that which saves and heals us, that keeps us confident to move forward.
Thanks Fidel for the promised work, for the solidarity action that since your triumph you have performed for your people. Thank you for being true, for the usefulness of your virtue, in the face of an empire that you taught us to know so that we would never be trampled underfoot.
