ROY P. BENAVIDES. Great video.

Don’t forget Roy P. Benavides/Vietnam War/US ARMY/Medal of Honor

There’s has been over 61 medals of honor awarded to Hispanics in the United States military. Let’s us not forget Silvestre S. Herrera who lost his legs to save his fellow soldiers.

Forgot one of the Best of them and a Medal of Honor winner Roy Benevidez.

It's amazing what the common men and women have done and continue to do for our country. We must never forget them.

Without diminishing the heroism of the featured soldiers, , at the toppest of the top should be be Sgt. Roy Benavides please....

Roy Benavidez 🫡 El Mero Mero 🐐

The image of Baldomero Lopez going over the seawall at Inchon embodies what it means to be an officer - it is every bit as iconic as the flag raising on Suribachi

Forgot about Jose Mendoza Lopez, recipient of the medal of honor during ww2. He has a statue in Brownsville Texas

I watched and waited to hear Roy Benavidez…..and nothing. The soldier the movie Rocky was basically about!

​@CTNationalGuard don't forget the Air Force pilot from Puerto Rico loss in the bombing of Ghadaffi compound a while back...

You're missing one the most decorated Latino of all and they call him the Puerto Rican Rambo.

The most decorated serviceman (of any branch) or any nationality of the Vietnam War was Jorge Otero Barreto !!!

SFC Barreto from Vega Alta, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 They call him the Puerto Rican Rambo. He should have been there along with Benavides .

Roy Benavidez is the man tango mike mike. AKA that mean Mexican.

Yeah Two of my favorite are Anthony {Tony} Acevedo. WWII medic, POW. And Alfredo Cantu Gonzalez Vietnam War. There a ship named after him The USS Gonzalez.

Don't forget Pedro " Pete" Coronado from San Dimas, CA, who served in the lead Tank for General PATTON in the Battle of the Bulge and was featured in the Book , Among The Valient, featuring stories of Mexican and Mexican American WWII heros.

Damn right, we fought for our respect and been heard that we are American too.

Salute to Mr. Rodela. 👍

My uncle, PFC E. Macias was in an all-Latino unit from El Paso, Texas. He was killed by the Germans in 1944 at Salerno, Italy. He was only 18 years old. He was the last one born of 11 children.

No Roy Benevidas??...

Roy Benvitez staff sergeant

Corporal Jose Fidel Hernandez Vietnam War Hero! Silver Star, Bronze Star, Medal of Valor with Combat V, Purple Heart, and the 1 He liked the most His Legion of Merit! He used to tell me you know Russell they usually only give those to Generals! He reenlisted in 1980 as a Pvt to come back to ANGLICO! The Priest noted in his citation for the Silver Star when the helicopter on board which he was a passenger was struck by Enemy Fire Cpl Hernandez unhesantly exposed himself to intense Enemy Fire as he remained open to administer first aid to Several Vietnamese Marines and assisted them to reach Cover!

Did he purposely for Benavides? I also know a Hispanic airman shot down MIGS over Iraq. BVR if I remember correctly.

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?

@@JuanMaldonado-ik8lg in the twenty years, I served in three different units and my first six years I spent in 1/75 BN and your entitled to disagree, however I did point out that racism is common banter, I never heard of anyone being held back or mistreated by their race. That sounds like an I.G issue

Many enlisted being promised papers but returning were taken to border and papers torn up in front of them..and striking fact they opened up vfws centers in Mexico and would still wave the flag for a country that turned their back on them
