CPY Document REPORT OF THE CHIEF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST August 30, 2006 TO: Honorable Members, Intergovernental Relations Committee FROM: Gerr F. Miler ~k1 C.F.06-l727 Chief Legislative AnaiYst Assignent No. 06-08-1362 Guy Gabaldon: Recommended to Receive the Congressional Medal of Honor CLA RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution (Huizar - Reyes) to encourage the President, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. Marine Corps to recognize Guy Gabaldon's accomplishments during World War 11 and honor him with the Congressional Medal of Honor. SUMMARY: The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force and can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. It is generally presented to its recipient by the President of the United States of America in the name of Congress. Captain John Schwabe ofthe 2nd Marnes recommended Guy Gabaldon for the Congressional Medal of Honor, but that recommendation was not honored and this highest commendation has not yet been bestowed upon Gabaldon. No specific reason has been identified as to why this recommendation was not honored. However, Steve Rubin, producer of the documentary about Guy Gabaldon's life entitled East L.A. Marine: The Untold True Story o/Guy Gabaldon, states that "...it appeared there was discrimination in the military, particularly in the Marine Corps." He further states that "(the documentary) will...look at what Gabaldon did in Saipan and why he and other Hispanic Americans and Jewish Americans who served as Marines received lesser awards." In 2001, Congress passed a law that required the Secretary of each military department to review the service records of any Jewish American or Hispanic American war veteran. Any Jewish American or Hispanic American war veteran that was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, or the Air Force Cross, would be reconsidered for the Medal of Honor. Under this new law, Guy Gabaldon's case is curently pending review and decision by the Secretary of the Navy. Guy Gabaldon was born and raised in east Los Angeles and served in World War II. His understanding of the Japanese language and culture proved to be extremely effective in capturing soldiers and civilians. He often worked alone as he approached enemy positions in caves, pillboxes, buildings, and jungle brush. On his own, Guy Gabaldon captured more than 1,100 prisoners, including the capture of 800 enemy combatants on a single day in the Battle of Saipan. For all his accomplishments during World War 11, he received the Silver Star, the third highest award for valor, -1- e.8s ~ but it was later elevated to the Navy Cross. The Navy Cross is the highest honor conveyed by the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Guy Gabaldon served as an advisor to U.S. troops in Iraq on the humane treatment of prisoners. He continues to be an inspirational speaker across the country on behalf of the Ared Services of the United States.

Gabaldon's story of heroism and the Marine Corps and World War II has already been made into one feature film by Hollywood. He is optimistic that the new documentary being pitched on the West Coast today will help spread the real story about what he did and how he was - or was not - recognized for his actions. He is not alone in believing that heroism by himself and other veterans was never properly recognized. While work on the documentary was under way, Congress passed a new law directing military leaders to review the records of Hispanic Americans, like Gabaldon, and Jewish Americans, to ensure that they received the medals to which they were entitled. Department of Defense spokeswoman Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke said each branch of the U.S. military was directed by the new law to review the medals awarded to Hispanic American and Jewish American war veterans. Gabaldon, a descendent of the Conquistadores, is a 79-year-old World War II veteran who served with the Marines in Saipan and was recommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor. The recommendation was made by Gabaldon's commanding officers for Gabaldon's success as a private first class in single handedly convincing more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers and civilians on the island to surrender, including 800 in one day. Gabaldon, who grew up in Los Angeles, credited much of his success to learning to speak some Japanese from friends he made as a teenager. "I think I was successful because I was able to speak to these Japanese in their own language - but mine was more than slang that I learned from by friends - and I could expiain to them that they would not be killed if they surrendered," Gabaldon said. Instead of the Medal of Honor, Gabaldon wound up with a Silver Star, a worthy, but less prestigious military award. Marine Corps records show that after WWII the secretary of the Navy conducted a review for all awards that had been upgraded or downgraded from the original recommendations. Marine Corps media officer Capt. Teresa Ovalle said that an oversight resulted in Gabaldon's case either not being submitted or not being reviewed at the time. However, in 1960, at about the same time that the movie about Gabaldon called "From Hell to Eternity" was being released, the case was reviewed and he was awarded the Navy Cross, a more http://www.gainesville.com/apps/pbcs.dll!article? AID=/20060 123/LOCAL/20 I 230320/1 0... 8/3012006 Page 2 of2 prestigious medal than the Silver Star. Ovalle said that under the recently enacted federal law, each branch of the military was directed to review records of every Jewish American and Hispanic American wartime veteran who received a Navy Cross, Distinguished Service Cross or Air Force Cross and determine if those veterans should be awarded the Medal of Honor. In an e-mail to The Sun, Ovalle wrote that "The case of Mr. Gabaldon was submitted to the Secretary of the Navy as part of this review, and his case is currently pending SecNav (secretary of the Navy) review and decision." Gabaldon's case is among 1,575 being reviewed by the Navy alone. Steve Rubin, a 30-year veteran producer of documentaries and feature films, said his sales pitch for the 77-minute-long documentary on Gabaldon will be made to theatrical film companies and television concerns like history and military channels. What a buyer will get is a look at what Gabaldon did in Saipan and why he and other Hispanic Americans and Jewish Americans who served as Marines received lesser awards. "Up until WWII, the Marine Corps was mostly a bunch of white guys," Rubin said. "Based on my research, it appeared there was discrimination in the military, particularly in the Marine Corps. There was a lot of conflict once other people - non-Caucasians - started joining the Marines in World War II." Gabaldon said his first attempts to get into the Marine Corps were rebuffed. "Both of my older brothers were in the Navy, but I had a perforated ear drum that kept me out of there so I went over and talked to the Marines," Gabaldon recalled.

  • World War Ii and Us Cinema
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.

  • 1 U.S. Latino Patriots: from the American Revolution to Afghanistan
    U.S. Latino Patriots: From the American Revolution to Afghanistan, An Overview By Refugio I. Rochin and Lionel Fernandez Background The mission of the Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives is to disseminate and advance understanding and knowledge of the contributions of Latinas and Latinos to the culture, society, history, arts, and sciences of the United States (U.S.). Since its inaugural opening on August 10, 1998, the Center has taken an active role in developing knowledge of the accomplishments of Latinas/os, “Latino Patriots” and their role in U.S. military history. Under the direction of Refugio I. Rochin, research has been conducted, data collected, and text prepared at the Smithsonian Institution by Lionel Fernandez, a volunteer at the Center for Latino Initiatives. Jose Alonzo Oliveros, a former fellow at the Center under the auspices of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (FY 2000), initially prepared the groundwork for this project. This research has explored the feasibility of developing an exhibition at the Smithsonian to document the contributions of Hispanic Americans in military conflicts since the American Revolution where the U.S. has played an active role. This history dates back to the colonial era with the onset of the American Revolution and spans more than 200 years to include contemporary military conflicts. The Smithsonian’s collections include more than 140 million objects and archival materials. These include military memorabilia of U.S. war periods. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is the primary repository of materials that involve the participation of Latinas/os in U.S. military engagements.
