And?? Why did you choose this guy?
Well actually I think that is a true history never told, some writters said that he never die in a battle field, he was a too young soldier that die in a hospital with an Intestinal disease. So general said "HE died in battle field" to get young soldiers for the troops...
Because I believe that all the things that Abdon Calderon was good for all the people that live in this time and for us too, because he looked freedom for all people, and because I a Cuencana and I am very proud of he.
