Becky Cobo held a color poster of her father tightly, as if she were actually holding him again. It was impossible for her and sister Elsa Cobo not to think Wednesday night about their father, who fought for the United State in the Bay of Pigs invasion in Brigada 2506.

Cuba has boiled over recently with protests against food shortages, high prices for goods amid the pandemic, and a general hatred for the oppressive Communist regime of Cuban president Miguel Diaz-Canel.
