When you immigrate to whom is your loyalty: to the country in which you were born, or to the country to which you immigrated and your sponsors?

To whom does the credit belong to you: your birthplace, or the place of your care and your future?

To a Spanish father and an Irish mother, the hero of our tale "Eamon de Valeria" was born in New York, USA on October 14, 1882, but soon his father passed away, and his mother's life faltered and she found herself unable to do what she owed to her child, so she was forced to send him to her country, Ireland. To be sponsored by her mother.

There Eamonn grows up and spends the best years of his life with his grandmother, who pushes him to play sports at an early age, and creates in him a love for Ireland, and over the years Eamonn becomes fully saturated with this love, and becomes an Irish citizen, renouncing the nationality of his birth and that of his father.

He works as a teacher, and is active with other teachers who wish to revive and preserve the Irish language against the British occupation's desire to obliterate it.

They continue to do so either by teaching it to students or encouraging those around them to keep it as a language of conversation.

His career progresses, and in 1903, he is appointed Professor of Mathematics at Rockwell College, and after winning his degree he becomes Professor at the Royal University of Ireland.

In a sad scene, they begin to surrender themselves to the British forces, Eamonn is the last of them. The British forces take him and 15 of his comrades to a prison in Britain, in preparation for the execution of the death sentences against them.

A decade later, Eamonn decides to join the Irish Volunteers, a group of politicians demanding independence from the British Empire, until he realizes that politics alone is not enough to free the country.

Thus, our friend decides in 1916 to join the Irish Revolution, and joins its fighting forces against the British Army, aided by his athletic structure, which he worked on for a long time.

The leadership decides to launch an operation to control the "Poland Mail" building, which serves as a financial administration for the conduct of the financial and economic affairs of several cities and sectors within the capital, Dublin, including government and service projects.

He is entrusted with the task of leading one of the battle groups, but after a week of confrontation, the British forces manage to completely besiege the building, and our friend finds himself and those with him in a real predicament, after the ammunition is about to run out.

In a sad scene, they begin to surrender themselves to the British forces, Eamonn being the last of them. The British forces take him and 15 of his companions to a prison in Britain, in preparation for the execution of the death sentences against them.

Eamonn's case is over, then, but there is a surprise in the matter, the sentences are implemented in succession in the arrested, and when his turn comes, the authorities remember that he was born in the United States of America, his head landing rescues him from the clutches of the death sentence, but he remains in prison for a whole year and is released in June / June 1917.

Horror what happened to him does not change his position, he decides to continue the struggle, and as soon as 3 months pass until the "Irish Volunteers" choose him as the head of the "Sin Fein" party, and he is elected governor of the city of Clare in Northern Ireland.

Britain senses the danger that he heads a political party that owns a military wing, so it arrests him along with 72 politicians about a year after his release, and puts him in Lincoln Prison.

The choice of this prison was not a coincidence, for it was built 46 years before Aemon entered it, and none of its inmates managed to escape from it, causing everyone to consider it a fortified fortress from which there was no escape.

Another year passes, and the party begins to choose its candidates who will participate in the Paris conference organized by the victorious nations of the First World War, in pursuit of self-determination.

Eamonn is among them, but how is that possible while he is under arrest?

It is therefore inevitable that a plan must be drawn up to carry out the first escape from this fortified British fortress since its inception.

Because Eamonn was raised in a Catholic family, he began to attend the church in the prison, only to discover later that there was a pile of keys hidden in a corner of the church.

Eamonn showed great loyalty to the priest, and took advantage of his perceived carelessness to obtain the keys.

He and his companions are thinking of printing it on a piece of wax and sending it to their comrades abroad to make a copy of it, but the question is how will the wax get out of the prison with a message explaining what is required, for the guards read all the incoming and outgoing messages through the prison gates.

It's Christmas, and it's time for gifts and greeting cards to be exchanged. Eamonn thinks of putting a piece of wax inside a wool sock - a usual Christmas gift - and along with a greeting card with two pictures: the first is a picture of a man sitting in a cell, and the second is a drunk man clutching a strangely shaped key, and fails It is placed in the door and written under it Happy Birthday.

The letter aroused the suspicion and suspicion of the guards, but they did not understand anything of its content, so it did cross to where it was intended, and fortunately his comrades outside realized what he wanted, and had already made a key, and sent it inside a strawberry cake, but who said: you are twice as lucky?

The key is too small, Eamonn finds out, and sends a vaguely ceremonial message explaining that the key is not suitable and that he wants a bigger one.

His buddies try again, but this time they send the key and small mods to fit the real key inside another strawberry cake, and luckily it finally works out.

It was February 3, 1919, when Eamonn and two companions came out to find the soldiers busy joking with some girls at a hospital near the prison gate, and they moved quietly and without making any noise, and not so far away they would be picked up by a taxi that was waiting for them, and they fled the whole county , before another car takes them to a safe house in Manchester, England, and later back to Ireland.

Thus, they succeed in escaping from the most powerful and fortified British prisons.

Two months pass, and the Irish elect him as speaker of the ruling legislature in April 1919.

He continues his struggle until Ireland gains its freedom in 1922, and becomes twice as President of the Republic, and 3 times as Prime Minister, to be considered one of the most important politicians in the history of Ireland.

In 1975, Eamonn dies and more than 200,000 citizens attend his funeral, bidding farewell to one of the heroes of their liberation from British rule.

People never forget their fighters.
