Marines who removed flag from U.S. embassy in Cuba return 54 years later to raise it again

The three former Marines have been called back to Cuba to perform one final task for their nation: to once again raise the flag they thought they’d never see fly over Havana as the U.S. officially reopens its embassy in the Cuban capital on Friday.

That is awesome beyond words. I am so glad this president didn't buy into the hype and was willing to open a new legal market for entrepreneurs.
