"My husband and I did nothing wrong, and literally, our property was taken,"

When I lived in Montgomery County, I befriended a young man who's parents fled Cuba after Castro took over. He said almost those very same words about his father, who had been a successful businessman in Cuba - that Castro came along and stole everything his father had worked hard for (I read a story recently where Castro has now made Forbes billionaire list ... so much for the promise of Socialism).

Roland, my friend, said that after fleeing Cuba, his father settled in Aspen Hill, began his life over, and once again, through hard work and courage, became a successful businessman :)

Hooray for America - Hooray for Freedom!

Good for your friend and his family. Some of the hardest working, honest people in America are of Cuban descent who fled in terror from Castro. The stats on the percentage who are entrepreneurs is staggering.

Montgomery County really has some of the stupidest, most corrupt people at the helm at virtually every level. It is notoriously liberal and so are most of the people who live there. I am so thankful to live in Virginia.
