January 1st: The day that began the destruction of Cuba

Tuesday, January 5, 2021 1:41

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

It’s another January 1st and a time to celebrate a new year but also remember one very sad day in 1959.

No one understood that morning what it all meant. We certainly had no idea that a communist dictatorship was coming. At least, my parents did not.

Within months, Cuba began to change, i.e. the mass executions, the mock trials, the political prisons, the attacks on the press and the radicalization of the regime.

Elections never came and Castro quickly started to blame the US to distract Cubans from all the failed promises.

We eventually moved to the US and this is now my adopted country. I am a very proud citizen of the US. My 3 sons were born here and the youngest one served in the US Army. We are very proud of his service.

However, it still hurts to see how much damage the communist dictatorship has done to Cuba and the people who stayed behind.

No one saw this coming that morning of 1959. My parents were actually optimistic in those early days.

Like so many others, they changed and left the country.

We were the fortunate ones. We got to grow up in the US. Some were not so unfortunate. They had to stay in Cuba or saw their fathers executed or spend time in a political prison.

A sad anniversary for Cubans, and for truth and freedom.

It turned out to be a terrible morning for the people of Cuba.
