JF Kennedy con mercenarios de Playa Girón = JF Kennedy with mercenaries from the Bay of Pigs

In Miami’s Orange Bowl Stadium, the American President hosts Cuban mercenaries who participated in the invasion of the Bay of Pigs. Speech by John Fitzgerald KENNEDY in English thanking the brigade for having entrusted to the United States a flag with the effigy of the "assault brigade 2506". He makes the promise that this flag will return to the brigade when Havana is released. Humorous comment on the term "Free Habana". Jackie KENNEDY then spoke in Spanish. On images (perhaps) of the trial of the mercenaries in Cuba [March 62], gathered in the enclosure of a building and surrounded by a service of order, a phrase of captured mercenaries who declared to be cooks of the troop "yo vine como cocinero" to minimize their involvement in the invasion.
