Anniversary of the July 11 uprising

Last year, and for the first time (at least in my memory) there were widespread protests in Cuba - the shouts were for "Libertad" which means "freedom."  Thousands of people were arrested, many were murdered and many disappeared.

There are planned protests on the first anniversary, and the Marxist dictators are sure to react with a bloody reprisal again - let's pray for these brave men, women and children on the streets of that poor brutalized island!

And here again is the flag for the uprising that I designed last year! A take-off on the 26th of July flag - this one has the colors of the Cuban flag (Red, White and Blue).  The red stripe is slightly larger than the blue, in honor of the blood being spilled on the streets of Cuba.  The "11J" in white is for 11 July!
