The former president put American heroes in mortal danger by recklessly strewing national security records all over his beach house.
It happens that I was raised in Cuba as the son of a commodities shipping manager. My father was bilingual, having grown up in Colombia and Mexico, where my grandparents were educational missionaries. Dad made use of his skills in the U.S. Navy as a linguist and cryptanalyst during the War. I was friends in 6th grade with Marc Anderson. His dad, Howard , also a Navy veteran, operated gas stations around Havana.
Our families were some of the last Americans to flee in summer 1960 after Castro began expropriating U.S. businesses. My father finally left in September with only the clothes on his back. He bought a one-way ticket to Dominican Republic to avoid undue suspicion. We were horrified to hear six months later that Andy was executed by a firing squad.
Years later, my father divulged that he and some fellow Navy veterans had made a clandestine attempt across the Florida Straits to rescue Andy. Castro accused Andy as a CIA spy. I suspect that both he and my father did indeed serve as eyes-and-ears for the United States. Mr. Trump, you put other heroes like these in mortal danger by recklessly strewing national security records all over your beach house.
