There are men and women who, during their existence, embellish life and after their passage to immortality, know how to clothe the universe with love and justice with their eternal legacy. There are men and women whose evocation towards the social good is like imprinting the best of their DNA into the atmosphere to continue giving light to their fellow men and women.

One of these beings, who are not on the list of the abundant, but on the list of the indispensable, is the Commander of the Revolution Juan Almeida Bosque, a man who knew how to flourish his courageous vision no matter how cornered the troops were. He knew that the price to pay was the highest, but he would never give up as a Cuban.
Ninety-eight years after his birth, his humility and fidelity continue to mark the passage of time, and those who knew him as a simple machetero or as an orderly and demanding boss in the municipalities of Avila, Venezuela and Bolivia, could confirm that the artistic sensitivity with which he came into the world was accompanied by admirable feelings of extraordinary attachment to the people.

His passage as President of the Association of Combatants of the Cuban Revolution, left a mat of pure feelings imprinted in the value and historical scope of the olive green suit.

For the new generations in Cuba, Commander Juan Almeida Bosque, looking to the future, predicts: talent, creative capacity. Renewing ideas, hopes, dreams and to carry forward the Revolution, which is not a perfect work, but it is ours, said the author of La Lupe.
