00:00All right, Rafael Montalvo, President, Bay of Pigs, Brigade 2506, Veterans Association.

00:21Thank you, Governor.

00:22Today is April 17th.

00:25It is a sacred day.

00:29It is a day that reaches into the deepest part of our hearts.

00:33Today, all of these people, as well as many others that, like them, have lost their lives,

00:41come alive, and their memories join us here.

00:46And I really thank Governor DeSantis for using this day and this place to sign this bill.

00:53Because the most important fight against communism is the one that's done in the school rooms.

01:00That's where the battle is happening right now.

01:03And this is going to be a tool that's going to give us the victory in that area.

01:11To the legislature, to the people that have been involved in creating this bill, I mean,

01:19we really appreciate it, and we thank you, and we pledge that we will join you in this.

01:24The two museums are educational institutions, and we do educate against communism and the

01:33truth of communism in both places, and we'll continue to do it.

01:36And we will join you in whatever way we can to continue this fight.

01:42We thank you for being a good governor and for being our friend.

01:47And we thank all the people involved in this for what you've done here.

01:52And we hope that your first client of your institute will be in New Cuba.

01:56Thank you.

01:57Thank you.

01:58Thank you.

01:59Thank you.
