  Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a monumental 
milestone, the 40th anniversary of Radio Marti.
  For four decades, Radio Marti has been a beacon of truth for the 
Cuban people, piercing through the propaganda and tyranny of the Castro 
regime.
  In a country where freedom of speech is silenced and independent 
media is outlawed, Radio Marti has delivered uncensored news, real 
stories, and a powerful message: liberty is not only possible, it is on 
the horizon.
  As a proud Cuban American and a staunch defender of democracy, I know 
firsthand the value of what Radio Marti represents. It's more than just 
a station; it's a lifeline for a community that longs for freedom.
  I thank the dedicated journalists and staff who have carried this 
mission forward since 1985. Their work is vital, their courage is 
undeniable, and their impact is immeasurable.
  Here's to 40 years of truth, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit 
of the Cuban people. May this next chapter bring us even closer to a 
Cuba libre.
