Which generals and for which murders?!? Is that generation going to finally see some justice?!? More info please!!

I placed a comment after the headline today. General Hector Garcia Tejada is dead and so is Beauchamps Javier who was murdered by an assasin in a mob style hit. The other three are alive and well enjoying a care free and luxurious life style.
The news has been the best news I have received in a long time, and Claudio Caamaño stated, of the Caamaño Foundation, that they will pursue this to the maximum extent.

I agree! The best news I've heard from the Republic in years! Cuando hay justicia hay patria para todos. My family was very close to some of Garcia Tejada's children (his granddaughter was actually a victim of the 9-11 attacks on the twin towers) and from what some of them have related to me he's as guilty as sin for what he's being accused of and revelled in the fact in private circles. I'm certain that the other authors of the dead who are still alive never saw this day coming. Hell, no one saw it coming. But it's here.

They say the arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Maybe we will see that in action in this case.

"The coup effectively negated the 1962 elections by installing a civilian junta, known as the Triumvirate, dominated by the UCN. The initial head of the Triumvirate, Emilio de los Santos, resigned on December 23 and was replaced by Donald Reid Cabral. The Triumvirate never succeeded in establishing its authority over competing conservative factions both inside and outside the military; it also never convinced the majority of the population of its legitimacy. The widespread dissatisfaction with Reid and his government, coupled with lingering loyalties to Bosch, produced a revolution in April 1965.

The vanguard of the 1965 revolution, the perredeistas (members of the PRD) and other supporters of Bosch, called themselves Constitutionalists (a reference to their support for the 1963 constitution). The movement counted some junior military officers among its ranks. A combination of reformist military and aroused civilian combatants took to the streets on April 24, seized the National Palace, and installed Rafael Molina Ureña as provisional president. The revolution took on the dimensions of a civil war when conservative military forces, led by army general Elías Wessín y Wessín, struck back against the Constitutionalists on April 25. These conservative forces called themselves Loyalists. Despite tank assaults and bombing runs by Loyalist forces, however, the Constitutionalists held their positions in the capital; they appeared poised to branch out and to secure control of the entire country.

On April 28, the United States intervened in the civil war. President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered in forces that eventually totaled 20,000, to secure Santo Domingo and to restore order. Johnson had acted in the stated belief that the Constitutionalists were dominated by communists and that they therefore could not be allowed to come to power. The intervention was subsequently granted some measure of hemispheric approval by the creation of an OAS-sponsored peace force, which supplemented the United States military presence in the republic. An initial interim government was headed by Trujillo assassin Imbert; Héctor García Godoy assumed a provisional presidency on September 3, 1965. Violent skirmishes between Loyalists and Constitutionalists went on sporadically as, once again, elections were organized."

So today should be a celebration of anti-imperialism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We tried to get out under the U.S.'s thumb, not as communist but as reformers, yet were labeled as such to justify the atrocities committed by the mechanized and air supported "loyalists"

Give them MEDALS! Name Schools after them. Put their faces on the Money. Make their Birthdays national Holidays!

You are in no position to dictate to the Dominican people who or who should not be their heroes.

Neither are you!!!!

Sorry dude, cibaeno is Dominican. All dominicans should decide who should be their heroes based on what they done for the glory of the DR. You shouldn't comment nonsense.
