Hola quisiera saber información de mi padre que fue un soldado Puertorriqueño

Nota:  Le sugerimos que visite nuestra sección de “Preguntas de Frecuencia”:  https://borinqueneers.com/es_ES/gallery-page/frequently-asked-questions/

I am the son of Jose Ramirez .
Sargent of company C . He can be found in the Company C picture to the far left. Can you tell me if a Congressional Medal was awarded to him. Thank you William Ramirez.

Note:  I suggest you contact us at contact@borinqueneers.com or call (863) 547-8023 to discuss your case in detail.  Thank you for your inquiry.

My father Felix Cardona Quiñones died on Thursday, June 21, 2018. He proudly received the gold medal the day of his 90th Birthday April 13, 2016. I am proud of his legacy of service and cordial attitude to his fellow citizens being very proud for being one of many puerto ricans who return to Puerto Rico and help improve our society by developing sports

My father, Hector L. Capella passed away on Valentines Day 02/14/18. He will be missed but know that he is at peace now. He risked his life for this country and was a proud Veteran and Borinqueneer. We made a tribute video of him and also of the Borinqueneers. It is good to know that this site will continue to honor the Borinqueneers and that my father’s photo is here. Thank you.

Saludos, Mi tio Raúl Rivera Rodríguez original del Bo Colombia en Mayaguez, perteneció a los Borinqueneers. Fue declarado MIA en la Guerra de Corea. Los familiares que le sobrevivimos apenas le conocimos, tan solo tenemos la foto oficial enmarcada que otorgó el ejército a mis abuelos. Si alguien tiene memorias, fotos, historias, etc. agradeceríamos lo comparta con nosotros.
Agradecida! puede dirigirse a biekepaz@aol.com Sol N. Vélez-Rivera

Are you still selling the The Borinqueneers DVD?

MI PADRE JUAN VILLANUEVA ALONSO PERTENECIO A LA 65 INFANTERIA Y SE ENCUENTRA SU FOTO EN LA GALERIA. EL FALLECIO. COMO PUEDO ADQUIRIR UNA REPLICA DE LA MEDALLA ? EL SE SENTIRIA MUY CONTENTO SI ESTUVIERA VIVO.

Yo soy hija de un Veterano disable retirado, Sfc Francisco Riestra-Lopez de la 65 Infantry. Mi padre fallecio en Diciembre 17, 2015. El estuvo en el ARMY por 20 a~os. Su retrato esta en la galleria. 

Gracias, 

Jeanet Riestra

MAJ Ceferino Declet, Sr. was my grandfather. He passed away last week and will be laid to rest, this Friday. He was assigned to Echo Company and served in Korea in 1951; received Bronze Star with Valor. I couldn’t imagine a better honor then if fellow BORINQUENEERS could attend his services.

If you’d like to attend and live in NJ/PA/NY:

28 Apr 16 – 1830 viewing GOES Funeral Home, Willingboro, NJ

29 Apr 16 – 0930 Catholic Mass; Corpus Christi church, Willingboro, NJ
