U.S. flag in Cuba

We can circumvent any embargo, propaganda or ideology by exhibiting or expressing our American way of life by simply fraternizing with the Cuban people, not its government.

Every American citizen has the right to travel to any country in which diplomatic relations have been established as with Cuba.

I was 12, living in Havana, when members of my father's Masonic lodge informed my mother of his detainment and imminent deportation.

He would have been overjoyed to witness the Stars and Stripes flying sovereign over el Malecón.
