December 29 1962, John F. Kennedy attended a ceremony for Brigade 2506 veterans at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
Consequences: 1. Embarassed the Kennedy Administration
2. Castro is prepared to face any future US intrusions in Cuba
3. Huge blow to Cuban Resistance forces previously determined to fight Castro
4. Gave momentum to Castro's Revolution and other Soviet attempts at establishment and expansion
In a note to JFK, Che Guevara wrote "thanks for Playa Giron. Before the invasion the revolution was weak. Now its stronger than ever."
