Look Gerardo! That was the general exclamation of the children when they saw Gerardo Hernandez, one of the Cuban Five back to his Homeland, who was held in the United States for fighting terrorism, when he arrived to La Cabaña Fortress to participate in the award of the drawing contest devoted to the reunion of the Cuban people with the return home of the Cuban Five Heroes.

The sincere happiness reflected in their infantile drawings was greater when they could personally see one of them, Gerardo, and neither on television or banners, in flesh and blood! And what an unexpected emotion it was for the winners to receive the diploma and the prizes from his hands! All of them, either children or adults, parents and grandparents approached and gathered around him wanting to embrace him, take a photo with him, and ask him for an autograph in a book, a banner…

What a great surprise will it be for their classmates when they return to school and they see what he wrote to me! –said me a little boy with a conspiratorial smile. When I observed the hero, I saw him hold in his arms a baby with the same tenderness he does it with his little daughter Gema, whose mother moved took him a photo.

Finally, Gerardo could walk through them to the awarded works and signed the big cloth placed together the drawings where among other characters there was the Cucumber of his youth, the pioneer of so many other drawings that emerged from his pen in prison with his fighting spirit messages.
