This video is a solemn tribute and an act of remembrance dedicated to the glory and eternal honor of the 32 brave soldiers who lost their lives in the line of duty during the terrorist attack perpetrated by the United States government against Venezuela.

They are not a number. They are 32 stories of courage, 32 promises of service, 32 smiling faces in photographs, and 32 voids that will never be filled. With this tribute, we seek to remember not only their ultimate sacrifice, but the lives they gave for something greater than themselves.

May we find in each image, in each note of this music, a space to:
· Honor their unwavering courage.
· Remember their dedication to their country and their comrades.
· Celebrate their lives beyond their uniforms: as sons, brothers, fathers, and friends.
· Offer our deepest respect and eternal gratitude.

They will never be forgotten. To their families and loved ones: All our support, condolences, and respect in this time of immense pain. The nation shares your loss.

Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men We must be united in memory of the ten, England you're a monster, don't think that you have won We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons

In those dreary H-Block cages ten brave young Irishmen lay Hungering for justice as their young lives ebbed away, For their rights as Irish soldiers and to free their native land They stood beside their leader - the gallant Bobby Sands

Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreesh in Armagh's hills In those narrow streets of Derry they miss O'Hara still, They so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia's hold Their names will be remembered as history unfolds

Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men We must be united in memory of the ten, England you're a monster, don't think that you have won We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons

Through the war torn streets of Ulster the black flags did sadly sway To salute ten Irish martyrs the bravest of the brave, Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty They gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee

Michael Devine from Derry you were the last to die With your nine brave companions with the martyred dead you lie Your souls cry out "Remember, our deaths were not in vain. Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again!"

Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men We must be united in memory of the ten, England you're a monster, don't think that you have won We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire. Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire.

In the little streets of Belfast, in the dark of early morn British solders came a-running, wrecking little homes with scorn. Hear the sobs of crying children, dragging fathers from their beds. Watch the scene as helpless mothers watch the blood fall from their heads.

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire. Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire.

Not for them a judge or jury or indeed a crime at all. Being Irish means they're guilty, so they're guilty one and all. Around the world the truth will echo, Cromwell's men are here again. England's name again is sullied, in the eyes of honest men.

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire. Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire

Proudly march behind our banner, proudly march behind our men. We will have them free to help us, build a nation once again. All the people step together, proudly marching on your way. Never fear or never falter 'til the boys come home to stay.

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire. Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind the men behind the wire.

Viva el tercer aniversario,
Vivan las ideas de Marx,
Vivan los pueblos de América,
¡Que luchan por su libertad!

Lenin, Martí, Fidel Castro,
(¡Viva la paz!)
Son los días que inspiran a pelear,
(¡A pelear!)
Por el triunfo del proletariado,
¡Que lucha contra el capital!
(¡A luchar!)

Adelante obrero socialista,
La victoria es nuestra y lo será,
En la mente las ideas marxistas,
Hoy, mañana y siempre ¡Cuba vencerá!

Not tankie, but anti-war, and thought it was fitting to post this in tribute to Ozzy passing away.
