Heroes
At the main entrance of our headquarters there is a memorial with nine flames paying tribute to the memory of our heroes: the members of the CNI who sacrificed their lives in the defence of Spain, its interests and its people.
Eight out of those nine flames have a name: Mr Carlos Baró Ollero, Mr José Antonio Bernal Gómez, Mr José Lucas Egea, Mr Alberto Martínez González, Mr José Ramón Merino Olivera, Mr José Carlos Rodríguez Pérez, Mr Alfonso Vega Calvo and Mr Luis Ignacio Zanón Tarazona.
All of them died in autumn 2003 in Iraq: Mr José Antonio Bernal died in Baghdad on 9 October, and the rest of our colleagues in Latifiya, on 29 November. One of the main meeting rooms at the CNI HQ has been named “Heroes of Iraq” in their honour.
The ninth flame is devoted to those who secretly sacrificed their lives in the service of Spain.
The memory of our heroes will always remain alive. Because those who are not forgotten never die.
