Eran three-thirty in the afternoon of April 18, 1961. My battalion had been fighting for many hours. The invaders advanced machinery and supported by artillery. Suddenly I felt the hot back. I touched the right side and felt a hole. He was wounded in the lung. I was shot down. Later I rescued my comrades and I was treated in a van that served as an ambulance. Then I was taken to a hospital in Havana. I went to the German Democratic Republic GDR, now gone and reunited with the former Federal Republic of Germany, Germany currently out for surgery. Was reported to be unable to get up and walk. I returned to Havana. Fidel visited us in the hospital, there came to greet me, I said in my hospital stay in the GDR had heard that in the USSR Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and Russia actualmnete missing and could have surgery so he could walk again. A few days later I was taken to the USSR and then I recovered. Incormporarme and turned to walk. With these or similar words, Alcides de la Rosa del Toro talked to us last Friday 15, which lived in the Bay of Pigs battle, where the Cuban people were victorious, and subsequent recovery.
Alcides de la Rosa is diplomatic. He has represented the Republic of Cuba in Asia and the Middle East. Today's consul in Veracruz. And, for 50 years, the Bay of Pigs hero.
