For All Your Revolutionary Needs
Hurry! Hurry! Sale ends July 30! The Che Store is having a huge sale because it is July 26th.
The 26th of July Movement is what Fidel Castro and Che Guevara called themselves and their comrades who entered Cuba, fought their way to Havana, ousted Batista and took control of the island. The 26th of July Movement led to the Revolution.
Their invasion and march toward the capital didn't actually start on July 26. It started in December. The movement was named after July 26 because on July 26 a few years prior, Fidel Castro and his buds attacked an army barracks. The attack ended badly for Castro and the gang, but many consider this barracks attack to be Castro's first attempt at a revolution. Thus it became the namesake of his successful revolutionary push. He was finishing what he'd started.
But anyway, all this detracts from the fact that the Che Store is having a sale. If you've ever wanted Che paraphernalia, this may be your chance.
