I received and saw images of the massive rallies in every corner of Venezuela. This is the sovereign force of the country that proclaims with absolute force: Yankee, we do not accept your piracy! No to theft and no to fraud! In the face of piracy, we defend our dignity! Oil belongs to Venezuelans and whoever wants it must pay for it!
The PLA also liberated Hainan in 1950 (during April-May) – a sizable island off the coast of South China. After mere months in power, the CPC (via the dedicated might of the PLA) also took on (and defeated) the capitalist West when it invaded North Korea between (1950-1953). Without the development of the PLA by Mao Zedong – there would have been no Socialist Revolution in China. Ordinary Chinese men and women – who have studied the work of Mao Zedong – constitute the “Iron Wall” that is the PLA! Even President Trump stood-up and saluted whilst watching the March on a large TV screen erected in the Oval Office of the White House!
During the Relief and Rescue Operations following today’s brutal (and “illegal”) attacks by the US-backed Zionist regime inflicted upon Tehran – one of the Red Crescent Society’s “Search & Rescue Dogs” was injured by enemy action – in the line of duty! This highly-trained dog, which plays a key role in finding people trapped under rubble and collapsed buildings, remained with the Rescuers until the last moment, despite his severe injuries. He never once complained – or left his station – as those around him were killed and maimed!
Mr Hemingway was one of 36 Irish pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain, including Wing Commander Brendan ‘Paddy’ Finucane, who was one of the RAF’s most successful fighter aces in the war, and Victor Beamish, a scion of the brewing industry. Both were killed in the war.
In 2019, Mr Hemingway gave an interview to The Irish Times on the occasion of his 100th birthday. He told military historian Joseph Quinn: “I can’t say don’t drink. I can’t say don’t fool about with people. I can’t say don’t fly aeroplanes. I can’t say don’t shoot and get shot at – I’ve done everything, and I’m an Irishman. The only advice I can give to people is be Irish!”
Mr Hemingway’s wife Bridget died in 1998. They had three children.
He lived with daughter in Canada for many years before returning to Ireland in 2011. Mr Hemingway spent his last years in the Trinity Care Foxrock Nursing Home.
This marked the beginning of regular deliveries that continued until the very end of the Great Patriotic War. They were carried out in extremely difficult and dangerous circumstances. In addition to severe weather conditions, the convoys were threatened by the actions of the German Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe.
