Elian Gonzalez

Remember Elian? His mom died trying to get Elian and herself to the United States. 6-year-old Elian made it only to have a machine gun shoved in his face before being sent back to Cuba.

I know you’re all wondering how Elian is getting on now. This happy-go-lucky 14-year-old has joined Cuba’s Young Communist Union. Along with a reported 18,000 others, Elian joined the group last Saturday pledging his loyalty to Fidel and Raul Castro.

I am sure his mom would be so proud.
