February 24, 1996 Shoot-down recalled / The Miami Herald
Shoot-down recalled
Mahatma Gandhi observed: "To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend. There is no merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend."
For a decade the Free Cuba Foundation has organized silent vigils on the anniversaries of the 13 de Marzo tugboat sinking that resulted in the deaths of some 40 men, women and children on July 13, 1994, and the
shoot-down of two Brothers to the Rescue planes on Feb. 24, 1996, which resulted in the murders of Carlos Costa, Pablo Morales, Mario De La Peña and Armando Alejandre, a Florida International University alum.
Our objective is to show that FIU students remember these crimes and continue to demand justice.
On Feb. 24 at 3:20 p.m. we will hold a seven-minute silent vigil at FIU's main fountain facing the Charles Perry building. This coincides with the time that the planes were shot down by Cuban MiGs in
international airspace. Family members of the victims will join the observance.
