My Honduran Brothers and Sisters Make Me Proud!

In a letter to Hillary Clinton after it was announced that she was cutting off aid to Honduras, one of the government officials of Honduras, Óscar Matute, said the following. (my translation)

"In the long history of the world few generations are given the role to defend liberty in the moments in which it is in the most danger."

Who said that originally?

John F. Kennedy

Óscar Matute went on to say, "None of us would change places with any other person in any other generation, we are a peaceful people with deep Christian values and we have forged ahead in the struggle with hoe and rifle and have built our character in one of the most difficult geographies in the Americas."

God Bless Honduras! (no one else is)

The Spanish text came from this article in La Prensa one of the major newspapers in Honduras. The translation is mine.
