 José Manuel Fajardo Y Montaño
Prior to the Cuban Revolution, José Fajardo's was a Cuban soldier and a bodyguard to Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Florida, Naturalization Records, 1847-1995 about Jose Fajardo Name:Jose Fajardo SSN:265-68-0580 Last Residence: 33152 Miami, Miami-dade, Florida, USA BORN:17 Apr 1933 Died:Nov 1980 State (Year) SSN issued:Florida (1960) Dad joined the US Army by this point [1964], and initially he was stationed in Texas and then South Carolina. But the Vietnam war brought our normal life to an end. Once again, Dad was gone. Communications were very basic back then: Dad couldn't just pick up a cellphone and let us know he was okay. Months would go by without a letter or anything. Eventually he bought two tape recorders -- one he kept with him and one for our house. Dad used to talk into the recorder and send the tapes home. Then we would gather round our machine and tell Dad stories. And I would sing. I still have all the tapes, but I can't listen to them. It hurts too much. After Dad came back from Nam, he wasn't well. He'd been poisoned by Agent Orange and needed quite a lot of looking after. Mum was busy trying to get her Cuban qualifications revalidated by a US university, so I had to take care of Dad and my little sister [Becky]. It was tough. Toward the end, Dad was too far gone and he didn't really know what was hapening around him. I joined Miami Sound Machine in 1975 and we were getting quite successful, but Dad didn't even know who I was. He had to be moved to the hospital. On my wedding day in 1978 [September 2] I went to visit him, still wearing my wedding dress. That was the last time that he said my name. Dad died in 1980, but he touches my life every day. On my last album [Unwrapped] I did a lot of writing while I was looking at a picture of him in his younger days -- so happy and in the prime of his life. I'm not sure if he sees me, but I can feel him all around me. I hope he knows that I am so very proud of him. gloria estefan: The [London] Sunday Times (November 17, 2006) "In the month of March 1963, the U.S. Government offered the officers of Brigade 2506 a special training course at Fort Benning, Georgia. The men of the well known Brigade, many still under the influence of 22 months of Communist prison, others still feeling the wounds of battle, enthusiastically took the opportunity offered by the friendly government [U.S.] to train in the use and techniques of combat and modern weapons, for the purpose of being more ready to the cause of liberating the country. [Cuba]" "Jose could not distinguish between Green and Red traffic signals"

I am the only son of Vernon Eugene Martin, of the The Royal Theobaldian House of Blois - Champagne Legacy of France and Louise Sophia Stark, Clan Muirhead of Lauchope House, ChapelHall, Airdrie, Scotland, United Kingdom. I was born in the United States Naval Hospital, in the village of Rota, a Spanish municipality located in the Province of Cádiz, Andalucía Region, of the Kingdom of Spain. My family returned to the United States of America when I was nearly 8 years old. I completed my primary, secondary, and university baccalaureate education in Connecticut, and a Magister Scientiae at Troy Univesity, Alabama. I served active duty in the United States Army Signal Corps, transferring to and commissioned by the United States Air Force. As an officer, I served at Tyndall AFB, Florida, in flight operations support. I was then trained as an Intelligence Officer, in Denver, Colorado. The United States Air Force appointed me to command a cadre of 120 airmen at a former Intelligence location in Italy, for three years. My last assignment was at the National Security Agency, Fort Meade, Maryland, as an Intelligence Plans Officer. I enjoy acting in films, sailing, singing, and travel. I am heterosexual and enjoy dating women.
I belong to the Franco-British Baronial Family of FitzMartin, a branch of the Royal House of Blois-Champagne, which itself is a branch of Agilolfing noble family that ruled the Duchy of Bavaria.

Following these events, the Battle of Crug Mawr occurred in October, 1136. “At Crug Mawr, two miles outside Cardigan, the Welsh forces were confronted by Norman troops drawn from all the lordships of South Wales. The Normans were led by Robert fitz Martin, lord of Cemais; Robert fitz Stephen, constable of Cardigan Castle; and William and Maurice fitz Gerald, uncles of Gerald of Windsor. After some hard fighting, the Norman forces were put to flight and pursued as far as the River Teifi. Many of the fugitives tried to cross the bridge, which broke under the weight, with hundreds said to have drowned, clogging the river with the bodies of men and horses. Others fled to the town of Cardigan, which however was taken and burned by the Welsh though Robert fitz Martin successfully managed to defend and hold the castle; it was the only one to remain in Norman hands at the end of the rebellion.” Casa sistemata, mente equilibrata by psychologist actress Shanti Winiger of Switzerland: ) The Battle of Crug Mawr 1136 AD: ***************************************************** ébécois
