A H\u00e9ctor Santiago \u2013 Salinas<\/span><\/p>\n

A Onyn- Guayama<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Dos semanas como forasteros en montes ins\u00f3litos. No cesaba el fuego.<\/span><\/p>\n

M-16 resonando en las noches. <\/span>Olor agrio de agente naranja manaba del cielo. Granadas centellantes detonaban abriendo surcos y ci\u00f1endo el tit\u00e1nico espacio entre dos enemigos que combaten y mueren.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 \u00a1Maldita Guerra!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Muchachos heridos arropados en s\u00e1banas sobre el suelo raso, yac\u00edan esperando el helic\u00f3ptero de emergencias m\u00e9dicas que los transportar\u00eda al hospital m\u00e1s cercano.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A ellos dos les toc\u00f3 la guardia aquella sombr\u00eda y tenebrosa noche.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La noche envuelta en oscuridad y penumbras no les permit\u00eda percibir m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de sus ojos, o de sus narices. <\/span>Enormes montes rodeados de densas y frondosas selvas imped\u00edan ver al enemigo.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Los compa\u00f1eros de batalla se alternaban el angustioso descanso, cada uno recostado de tierra ajena, en sus respectivas trincheras. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 \u00a1Maldita Guerra! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"images\"Llevaban meses en esos montes\u2026 <\/span>Peleando\u2026 Batallando\u2026 Combatiendo\u2026 una guerra ajena.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Bromeaban y charlaban mientras hac\u00edan la guardia, evocando amaneceres en sus respectivas tierras: uno, puertorrique\u00f1o; el otro mejicano.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 \u00bfDonde est\u00e1 <\/span>el general Pancho Villa ahorita que lo necesitamos?, bromeaba el mejicano.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Un fulgor de metralleta alumbr\u00f3 la trinchera. El ataque los tom\u00f3 por sorpresa\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n

Los vietnamitas intentaron traspasar el per\u00edmetro y matarlos a todos. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ellos\u2026 <\/span>S\u00f3lo ellos dos. <\/span>No lo permitieron.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Su compa\u00f1ero perdi\u00f3 all\u00ed su pierna derecha. <\/span>Se la volaron. <\/span>Jam\u00e1s volver\u00eda a verlo.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Yac\u00eda desangr\u00e1ndose sobre la frialdad de aquel suelo for\u00e1neo e inh\u00f3spito. No sent\u00eda su brazo… <\/span>Su pierna. <\/span>Su espalda dol\u00eda.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfMorir\u00e9 tan lejos? Pens\u00f3.<\/span><\/p>\n

All\u00ed permaneci\u00f3 hasta la madrugada del pr\u00f3ximo d\u00eda. <\/span>\u00a1Por fin! lleg\u00f3 el helic\u00f3ptero que lo transport\u00f3, primero a Vietnam y luego al Hospital General en Jap\u00f3n y de all\u00ed\u2026 a su casa\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Aquella noche, s\u00f3lo fueron dos los H\u00e9roes de Guerra.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coraz\u00f3n P\u00farpura. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Treinta a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde era un ermita\u00f1o.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n
