And we almost attained in America just being Americans; only people of red, white and blue. A moment lost. Now we’re all broken by designations which is division. Pride can include past, but in the end being absolute American. I felt a moment we were all American; everyone; but lost…I hope not forever. Or the Republic will fall. Thankful to our American Warriors. And I’m retired from our military. We are so close…

Roy Benavidez should have been on that list! His side of his military 🪖 story fighting in Korea getting wounded and the doctors told him he'll never walk again! He proved them wrong! Then went to go serve in Vietnam! This man was an army officer as green beret serving on the 5th special forces as a Mac/song special forces unit. His story was 😮a shocking tale to be told and lived on later on he receive the medal of honor for his gallentry and courage in Vietnam.

Puerto Rico - an island measuring 100 miles by 33 miles has produced 9 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and a huge number of other medals of high distinction - including a Congressional Gold Medal honoring Puerto Rico's 65th Infantry Combat Regiment for their service during the Korean War .... There have also been Admirals, Generals, and NASA Astronauts ... (Marine Gen. Pedro Del Valle - born in San Juan, was a Commanding Officer of the First Marine Division during WWII) ------ YET when the two devastating "back to back" hurricanes struck the island in September of 2017 - HALF of the people on the mainland were unaware Puerto Rico was part of the United States.

Without taking away anything from any of these heroes, I would correct the narrative for the last individual mentioned. The narrator states that he was the only US service member to be awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions as a prisoner of war. USAF general George “Bud” Day was also awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions as a POW during the Vietnam War.

2 more👆🏽: USN Admiral James Bond Stockdale was one of the senior POW leaders and attempted suicide in order to prevent his captors from further torturing his peers…His actions ( guards discovered him at the brink of death and saved his life) compelled Vietnamese authorities to suspend all future torture of all US prisoners from that point forward. USAF Lt. Lance Sijan died a HORRIBLE death in captivity as an extreme hardline resister and was also a posthumous MOH recipient Viet Nam POW.

As a retired Infantryman, I can tell you it’s instilled into us that among the grunt ranks we do not identify ourselves by our ethnic heritage, we are all Americans and it’s this mentality that makes us stronger as a unit. Racism doesn’t exist in the Infantry however, it’s mitigated to stereo type banter which is laughable. As an American of Mexican descent I appreciate the sacrifice every American service member past and future. This is one reason we veterans hold a high level of respect for our American flag that most won’t understand.

I have to disagree with you. I was in the biggest infantry unit in the Army and I can tell you that they were race conciuos. Go spend time in a Ranger battalion and see. I met African American Ranger that in land navigation he got stock up to his neck in a swamp and his body sat down and would not help him get out. After a while, he told him that if that was in combat he would have left him to die. Guess what his race was?

I saw my aunt Guadalupe Fierro his betrothed faint when at 3am his Casa Blanca, California family brought us the news. He along with eight or nine of our family (US Army or Marines ), was fighting for a US "democracy" in the Pacific or in Europe which our community had never tasted.
