The moment also became an evident prove of support to the greater Antilles and screams of Long Live Cuba with the flag fluttering in the wind reverberated in every bodies' ears.

There was also listened every time louder the names of Fidel Castro and Nelson Mandela to whom the event is especially dedicated.

That is the Cuban Revolution an excellent example of capacity to resist adversities and always thinking in all human beings, emphasized to Prensa Latina the Young US Tom Baumann.
