Let’s Honor the Hero Who Brought Che Guevara to Justice by Making October 9 “Felix Rodriguez Day”
Miami Young Republicans call for governments in Miami-Dade and across the hemisphere to recognize a hero and living legend of freedom and democracy.
MIAMI (October 9, 2019) – On October 9, 1967, communist murderer Ernesto “Che” Guevara was brought to justice in the mountains of Bolivia. At the time he was captured, Che, with the support of dictator Fidel Castro, was actively working to export Marxism, violence, and tyranny throughout the rest of the world. As fate would have it, Che was captured by a special Bolivian military unit led by Cuban-American CIA operative, Felix Ismael Rodriguez.
Felix Rodriguez has dedicated his life to advancing freedom and democracy throughout the world. Not only was he largely responsible for Che’s capture, Felix also fought to liberate Cuba in the Bay of Pigs invasion and served our country honorably in Vietnam. Felix is a hero and living legend whose sacrifices we honor and respect. As such, the Miami Young Republicans are thrilled to join with Commissioner Steve Bovo in a call to make October 9 “Felix Rodriguez Day” in Miami-Dade County.
Armando Ibarra, President of the Miami Young Republicans, said:
“Felix Rodriguez is a giant among men, a living legend, and a hero in our community. By capturing Che Guevara, Mr. Rodriguez brought a cold-blooded murderer who terrorized so many families in our community and around the world to justice. We are forever grateful for his sacrifices and join Commissioner Bovo in urging Miami-Dade County to make October 9 Felix Rodriguez Day so that his heroism may never be forgotten.”
