Caracas: As the first explosions rocked his military base in Caracas, 18-year-old Saul Pereira Martinez sent his mother a simple message: “I love you. It has begun.”
It was the night of January 3, and US forces were invading Venezuela to seize the country's then-president, Nicolas Maduro, on the orders of US President Donald Trump.
Pereira had finished his shift on guard duty at Fort Tiuna, where Maduro was sheltered that night. However, he would not survive the assault.
Natividad Martinez, his mother, visited on Sunday the cemetery where her son's remains are buried, recalling the night it happened, and still in shock.
The last time she spoke to Saul was at 2:00 am. He repeated that he loved her, and told her to take care of his two brothers, aged two and nine.
