Quedaron en mi mente y corazón tus travesuras de pequeño,me encantaba cuando me pedias que te las contara por n-sima vez. Siempre riéndonos de esos tiempos. Ahora grande,diste clases de valentía a los que te rodeabamos, nunca cambiastes, eras tan transparente como el agua cristalina que recorre los rios creados por Dios. Quedaste inmortalizado, eres parte de la historia de los grandes y ahora mereces siempre el respeto no solo de los tuyos ni los cercanos a ti,sino de una nación entera por entregar la vida a cambio de libertad de un pueblo.
