My son was not a U.S. citizen when he joined and served in the U.S. Marines for four years of his life. He loved his country then, and he loves it now. The Marines needed a light weapons armorer so they sent him to a U.S. Army school to learn how to maintain and repair light infantry weapons. While at the 1st LAR Battalion, he helped bring his unit arms room up to and above standards to pass inspection and helped the unit win special recognition for that. The old man held his orders to go on float until he had about a year left on his enlistment. Before leaving the Corp, the U.S. Marines helped him get his citizenship papers. My son was a "green card" Mexican citizen/U.S. veteran, now he's a proud U.S. citizen fluent in two languages and running his own successful new house construction business.

They should make a movie about him. I think the guy that played Selena's brother can play that part. Or that Mexican guy that played Friday's part 2.

Hollywood doesn't make movies of Mexican/American war heroes. Ever seen a movie about Guy Gabaldon, WWII? Captured over 1500 Japanese! Or, Roy Benavidez? What Sgt Benavidez did, makes Rambo look like a boy scout.

Great recognition and video

We need the truth to be known about all the Mexicans that fought in WW2 and were some of the highest decorated of the whole war.

“BRAVE MAN DOESN’T BELONG TO ANYONE’S COUNTRY” -Harry Truman

Thank you for sharing this story. In bootcamp recruits learn his name in the Marine Corps manual. I beleive he is burried in Mexico? The VA wouldnt pay for his headstone because he was in Mexico. I beleive congressman had to get involved. Mexicans have made big contributions in the Military. We just enjoy the tough life.

Small sample of what is to be a patriot even though not a citizen or obligated to served But moved by gratitude Let it be an example for today’s white citizens born in privilege

They don’t make them like that since WWII! Many non US born citizens have take the call and fought for this country. Many of them paid the ultimate price for this country to continue to have their freedom. Ungrateful Natural born citizens, if you ask me! Many of them White race are ignorant of the many non-white sacrifices that was done and when the Axis Powers were defeated, them heroes returned to a segregated country!
