Video of the Day: Elian Gonzales ten years later...
It is hard to believe that it has been ten years since Elian Gonzales made front page news everyday. It started as the story of a difficult struggle of a mother who died trying to bring her son to the U.S. from Cuba and ended with the tug of war between the Cuban community in south Florida and a father and Cuban dictator to the south.

Gracias por las fotos and video. Estaba yo en Cuba durante el tiempo de la lucha entre los gobiernos sobre su situación. Visité una escuela primaria y los estudiantes tenián carteles que expresaba su esperanza de tenerlo en Cuba otra vez. Durante sus sessiones hablaba de él cada día. Era un tiempo triste y muy difícil para todos - la familia allá en Cuba y la familia aquí en los Estados Unidos.
