Soy un orgulloso vecino de Eddie Gonzalez eh buscado el registro de mi vecino que era como mi abuelo y no aparece registro de el en la 65th de infanteria y de acuerdo con las historias que me hacia papa creo q el archivo se pudo haber averiado en el incendio de el 1973 donde se perdio el 80% de los expedientes del ejercito, me gustaria saber si algun allegado a el tenga alguna foto de el o historias y si ay otros allegados a veteranos pasando por lo mismo.
