More Pictures From the Spanish Embassy Memorial Service
Mourners gather in front of the embassy.
The crowd moves towards Washington Circle.
The Spanish Ambassador chokes up as he speaks to reporters: "The Spanish people, along with the American people, all the freedom-loving peoples of the world, we will persevere together."
"The smart thing for us to do is stick together." (I think, roughly) UPDATE: WRONG! - "Madrid, The Most Beautiful, We Are With You!"

Yes, the smart thing for all of us nations that still believe in basic human dignity is for us to stick together. The nation of Spain has contributed generously to the coalition efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it appears that it is now suffering for its committment and determination. Spain, this American thanks you for your efforts and mourns your loss with you. Please don't lose heart, and let's stick together.

A girl could say about a boy she likes: he's so majo... It's signed by "those from Arguelles", a student neighborhood not far from the university. I had a few good times around there in my day. The tapas are to die for. Oh to be there now! Posted by: Fernando at March 12, 2004 03:40 PMThanks for the translation! Posted by: Bill at March 13, 2004 12:00 PMPost a comment
