Chronicle of that afternoon when my father received the \u201cMiguel Alem\u00e1n Vald\u00e9s\u201d Gold Medal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Mauricio Sulaiman<\/p>\n

I was browsing through photographic albums with my children, and in one of them I found images that moved me and transported me back to the afternoon of July 28, 2011, when my father was presented with the \u201cMiguel Aleman Valdes\u201d Gold medal and I would like to share this story with you:<\/p>\n

The Green and Gold Belt rested on the wooden base. Its golden plaque reflected the lights of the auditorium at the Panamericana Hotel School, which was packed with people from tourism and hospitality.
\nDon Jos\u00e9 was recognized with the \u201cMiguel Alem\u00e1n Vald\u00e9s\u201d Gold Medal, in honor of the president \u201cteacher and builder of tourism in Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n

He proudly received that medal that hung on his chest, the one that rewards the “Tourist Merit” and was presented from the hands of Lic Miguel Torruco M\u00e1rquez.
\nAs a witness to this event, there was great champion, Sergio \u201cMaravilla\u201d Mart\u00ednez, who last Friday returned to the ring after 6 years of inactivity.
\nOn going to the podium, the rector of the Panamerican University of Hospitality, Gastronomy and Tourism, Miguel Torruco, said:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an excellent moment to recognize many successful Mexican champions and former boxing world champions, led by a man who has made his way by walking, I mean with all respect and admiration Don Jos\u00e9 Sulaim\u00e1n, welcome. Your presence honors us. Throughout the decades, Mexican athletes have stood out worldwide in individual competitions, giving the people satisfaction, inspiration, example and pride ”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My dad listened attentively; Miguel Torruco Garza, son of the then rector and who was the main promoter of this recognition, as he is a great boxing fan, addressed a memorable message:
\n\u201cI admire Don Jos\u00e9 like few people, I don\u2019t know him very much, but I respect him and admire him very much. I wish Mexico had more characters like you, Don Jos\u00e9, and we are sure Mexico would be a different country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a big round of applause. My dad humbly received that medal on behalf of the boxers of Mexico and the world whom he represented as President of the World Boxing Council,
\nAt the end of his speech, my father went to where the Green and Gold Belt was, and presented it to Mr. Miguel Torruco, with these words:
\n“I want to give the rector this belt that is the commitment of mystique of poor people who reach glory based on work, the same work that you have given to this important sector of national tourism.”<\/p>\n

After a long process of farewell for so much demonstration of affection that my father received from the Torruco family and all the guests, we went to have dinner. My father never took off his medal and spent the whole dinner talking about how special it was. It was a great day for him.
