  • A BILL to Award a Congressional Gold Medal to the 65Th Infantry Regiment, Known As the Borinqueneers
    AYO13453 S.L.C. 113TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. ll To award a Congressional Gold Medal to the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES llllllllll Mr. BLUMENTHAL (for himself, Mr. CHAMBLISS, Ms. WARREN, Mr. RUBIO, Mr. NELSON, Mr. MENENDEZ, Mr. SCHUMER, and Mr. CASEY) intro- duced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Com- mittee on llllllllll A BILL To award a Congressional Gold Medal to the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers. 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa- 2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 3 SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 4 The Congress finds the following: 5 (1) In 1898, the United States acquired Puerto 6 Rico in the Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish- 7 American War and, by the following year, Congress 8 had authorized raising a unit of volunteer soldiers in 9 the newly acquired territory. AYO13453 S.L.C. 2 1 (2) In May 1917, two months after legislation 2 granting United States citizenship to individuals 3 born in Puerto Rico was signed into law, and one 4 month after the United States entered World War I, 5 the unit was transferred to the Panama Canal Zone 6 because United States Army policy at the time re- 7 stricted most segregated units to noncombat roles, 8 although the regiment could have contributed to the 9 fighting effort. 10 (3) In June 1920, the unit was re-designated as 11 the ‘‘65th Infantry Regiment, United States Army’’, 12 and it would serve as the United States military’s 13 last segregated unit composed of Hispanic soldiers.

  • 15Th Infantry Regiment History
    FIFTEENTH INFANTRY REGIMENT (Third Infantry Division) This celebrated outfit, the "China Regiment" or the "Can Do" of Far East fame, is the fourth to hold the number "15" in the infantry of the Regular Army. Its insignia shows a golden dragon, and the mess table of its noncoms displays a magnificent incense burner presented by the citizens of Tientsin. These are two of many reminders the regiment has retained from the twenty-six consecutive years it spent in China. But these objects tell only a fraction of the long story of the Fifteenth from its activation by order of President Abraham Lincoln to its current service in Korea. As a volunteer unit in the War of 1812, the 15th participated in the expedition which captured Fort George, Canada. Following the capture of the post, a British counterattack drove the American Force into a nearly disastrous retreat. The movement was covered successfully by the 15th which lost nearly half of its strength in a valiant fight against a much stronger foe. Again as a volunteer unit, the 15th served in the Mexican War as a part of General Winfield Scott's expedition to Vera Cruz. The regiment fought in the battle there as well as in others at Plandol Rio, Cerro Gordo, Curubusco, Las Animas, Jalapa, Chapultepec and Mexico City. When peace came, the 15th again was mustered out. The 15th Infantry Regiment was created at the start of the Civil War. In the fall of 1861, recruiting headquarters were established for the new regiment in the vicinity of Cincinnati, Ohio, but- as was the case with all regular regiments during the war-enlistments came slowly.

    Medal of Honor Recipients Korean War *ABRELL, CHARLES G. Rank and organization: Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps, Company E, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.). Place and date: Hangnyong, Korea, 10 June 1951. Entered service at: Terre Haute, Ind. Born: 12 August 1931, Terre Haute, Ind. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a fire team leader in Company E, in action against enemy aggressor forces. While advancing with his platoon in an attack against well- concealed and heavily fortified enemy hill positions, Cpl. Abrell voluntarily rushed forward through the assaulting squad which was pinned down by a hail of intense and accurate automatic-weapons fire from a hostile bunker situated on commanding ground. Although previously wounded by enemy hand grenade fragments, he proceeded to carry out a bold, single-handed attack against the bunker, exhorting his comrades to follow him. Sustaining 2 additional wounds as he stormed toward the emplacement, he resolutely pulled the pin from a grenade clutched in his hand and hurled himself bodily into the bunker with the live missile still in his grasp. Fatally wounded in the resulting explosion which killed the entire enemy guncrew within the stronghold, Cpl. Abrell, by his valiant spirit of self- sacrifice in the face of certain death, served to inspire all his comrades and contributed directly to the success of his platoon in attaining its objective. His superb courage and heroic initiative sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the U.S.

Keep up the good work. I will visit periodically. Jim Z. Mowery Tuesday 07/05/2005 11:35:57pm Name: John A Smart Sr E-Mail: [email protected] Referred By: Other: please specify below Other Referred Being where I'd never been before by: City/Country: Haverhill Ma US of A Comments: Lynnita; on the way out of the site I was checking out some of the memoirs. I was shocked to read about your set-to with the KWVA and Harvey (RAC)oon. I know what its like with them, there are too many people who think they are Gods. Thats exactly why I never would join KWVA, I ran into it up here when I was only inquiring for Janowski about the memorial in Haverhill. I won't go into details about that but I didn't need any @#%$! thrown at me by someone who was only standing in while the Chapter President was in Fl.
