Fidel speaks at Colon Cemetery in the farewell celebration of Captain Alfredo Gamonal, about who says: "Of humble origin, by his own effort, by his own natural vocation towards good, towards rectitude and towards justice, he grew and it was developed and formed; and he was formed as a good man, even in the midst of that society of which we all know was the means for selfishness and for men to get used to seeing other men not as a brother but as an enemy. "
Fidel also details: "Fellow of the struggle for the liberation of the country, comrade of the struggle in the Revolution, by its merits, by its ability, distinguished itself, lending the country innumerable services, anonymous services, discreet, but important services, in works of trust, inside and outside the country."
