  • List of Hispanic Medal of Honor Recipients 1 List of Hispanic Medal of Honor Recipients
    List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Forty-three men of Hispanic heritage have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Of the forty-three Medals of Honor presented to Hispanics, two were presented to members of the United States Navy, thirteen to members of the United States Marine Corps and twenty-eight to members of the United States Army. Twenty-five Medals of Honor were presented posthumously.[2] The first recipient was Corporal Joseph H. De Castro of the Union Army for Reverse of the Medal of Honor awarded his actions at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 3, 1863, during the American to Seaman John Ortega Civil War and the most recent recipient was Captain Humbert Roque Versace who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on July 8, 2002, by President George W. Bush. Corporal De Castro was a member of the Massachusetts Infantry, a militia that was not part of the "regular" army; however, Private David Bennes Barkley was a member of the regular army during World War I and has been recognized as the Army's first Hispanic Medal of Honor recipient.[3] In 1864, Seaman John Ortega became the first Hispanic member of the U.S.

This Wall Note lists the Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients whose names are engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (VVM) – the Wall. The list includes: (01) rank/rate held at the time of the action (02) name, (03) Page 1 of 24 service, (04) unit association at time of action, (05) date of action, and (06) Wall location. The stories of four MOH recipients are told briefly in paragraph 08. A. The correct name of the Medal of Honor is the Medal of Honor and not the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is awarded by direction of the President in the name of Congress. There is a Congressional Medal of Honor Society, which is an organization chartered by Congress and may be a factor in the Medal of Honor’s “alternate” name. B. The date of action and the date of death for a posthumous MOH recipient may not be the same. The recipient may have died of wounds after the action. This difference in dates may be reflected in the VVMF Directory of Names. The VVMF Directory of Names lists the date of capture for a prisoner of war (POW) and not his REPORTED date of death.

  • SHIFTING CONCEPTIONS of PUERTO RICAN IDENTITY DURING the VIETNAM WAR by ASHLEY LEANE BLACK BA
    FROM SAN JUAN TO SAIGON: SHIFTING CONCEPTIONS OF PUERTO RICAN IDENTITY DURING THE VIETNAM WAR by ASHLEY LEANE BLACK B.A., The University of British Columbia Okanagan, 2008 M.A., Wilfrid Laurier University, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) June 2012 ©Ashley Black, 2012 Abstract Between 1964 and 1973, the United States sent over 48,000 Puerto Rican soldiers to fight the war in Vietnam. While many enlisted voluntarily, many others were sent as draftees, subject to conscription as citizens of the United States. This is the starting point of this thesis, which looks at the intersection between citizenship, nationality and military service in relation to Puerto Rican identity at the time of the Vietnam War. This project focuses on the experiences of three distinct groups. First, it uses newspaper and archival research to explore opposition to the draft by Puerto Rican nationalists on the island, who used conscription as a tool to challenge the meaning of their citizenship. They questioned how a state that denied them the right to vote could require them to give the ultimate sacrifice and challenged both the moral and legal dimensions of conscription as it applied to the island. Next, it moves to the Puerto Rican barrios of New York to look at second-generation Puerto Ricans who came of age during the era of civil rights and the Vietnam War. Through the lens of popular culture, it looks at the early development of Puerto Rican stereotypes in Hollywood films and the way that these were challenged by a new generation of writers and activists by the close of the sixties.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation provides financial aid for education, special needs, and care for children of U.S. Marines, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Naturalization Services, Customs Bureau, Secret Service, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau, the U.S. Marshals, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and Federal Air Marshal Service. It also awards U.S. Treasury Bonds to children of U.S. Marines and federal law enforcement employees killed in the line of duty. Special consideration may be given to state, county and local law enforcement officers. This Foundation was formed in February of 1995 by a group of former Marines and federal law enforcement officers met and sought a vehicle to assist the children of Marines and federal law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. We wanted to do it in a way that would have an immediate life changing effect on the surviving parent and the children who, in most cases, lost their father. That was the beginning of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. Our Mission Statement is the same as it was back in 1995 and has not changed: DHS “TO ENCOURAGE THE SPIRITUAL, MORAL, INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN THROUGH EDUCATION.

It is this ideal that has inspired the conversation between the American people and we the members of the National Museum of the American Latino Commission, who were tasked to answer the question of whether there should be a National Museum that reflects the contributions of Latinos to every aspect of American History and Culture. The answer is abundantly clear. Yes. The time has come for the creation of a new museum on the National Mall, the place where our nation’s most important monuments are located, where we conduct the business of our Congress, pay tribute to our veterans, gather to inaugurate our Presidents and where we give full voice to our freedom of speech. The Mall, more than any other public space in our country does indeed tell the story of America, and yet that story is not complete. There must also be a living monument that recognizes that Latinos were here well before 1776 and that in this new century, the future is increasingly Latino, more than fifty million people and growing. We believe strongly that this new museum should be a part of the Smithsonian Institution, to be known as The Smithsonian American Latino Museum.
