  • Feliz Navidad 1950
    Saviors of the Cause The Role of the Puerto Rican Soldier in One Man’s Crusade Copyright © 2005 by Luis Asencio Camacho For my brother Josué, the family historian Governor Luis Muñoz Marín welcomes the Borinqueneer colors from Korea. November 1954 (Archivo General) The gallant contribution that the soldiers of the 65th and 296th Infantry regiments have made alongside their fellow citizens of the United States, defending our common ideals against those who try to subvert the freedom of the human race, make the transfer of their regimental colors an occasion of profound meaning to all of us. GOVERNOR LUIS MUÑOZ MARÍN During ceremony transferring the colors of the 65th and the 296th Infantry regiments to the PRNGUS, Fort Brooke, Puerto Rico November 19, 1954 Saviors of the Cause The following article is written from an objective point of view. The expressions are solely the author’s responsibility, and in no way represent the ideologies of Danny Nieves or valerosos.com. Introduction No other person in the history of Puerto Rico has embodied the paradox of this nation like “El Vate” (The Poet) Don Luis Muñoz Marín. His policies and programs transformed not only the face of a country but as well the idiosyncrasy of its people. He has been called “one of the most influential politicians in recent times, whose works will be remembered for years to come” (Time Magazine), and “the guiding force behind this time of sweeping change” (The Puerto Rico Herald); and has been recognized with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor in peacetime, for his role in the future of Latin America.
