1/2

Salung & thanking under-recognized extreme

heroes: MSG Juan E. Negron, rst 65th Inf. Reg.Borinqueneer ever to receive the Medal of Honor,

the Naon's highest award for individual heroism,

received the honor (posthumously) on March 18,

2014, along with several other minority heroes

aer it was determined that their extreme hero-

ism was under-recognized in the past due to

prejudice. Very sadly, only 3 of the 24 minority

veterans were alive to accept the long-overdue

recognion. We honor & thank them all!

It is hoped that Pres. Obamas presentaon will

also help to spotlight our historic cause!
