A 96 year veteran of a dangerous life, who fell upon his knees to pray to God to intercede for him just as guerrillas dynamited a hole in his roof. As they leveled their rifles at him and his daughter, his prayer was immediately answered. A loud megaphone blasting "Lay down your arms and surrender. You are surrounded" was heard from the nearby jungle. The rebels ran. They were saved, but there were no troops. They had all been massacred in their barracks, earlier. Reinaldo's faith had always been strong. You can see it in his eyes.
