WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE NEW BORINQUENEERS PHOTO DIRECTORY:

Read the latest comments from happy customers:
“The Photo Directory together with the summary of the Legendary 65th Infantry Regiment of which I am so proud of, allowed me to search page by page to see if a photo of a member friend appeared in the directory who served together with me during the Korean War.  The directory has a special place in my office with other memorabilia. On Thanksgiving Day, my sons and especially my grandchildren took turns in reading the short summary and viewing it and commented on how proud they were of me to have served with the Glorious 65th Regiment especially in wartime. So, I consider it an educational tool for younger generations to motivate them to be better citizens.   I highly recommend every living person that appears in the directory, to obtain a copy and likewise family members of those veterans who appear in the directory to do the same.” 
– DANIEL JAIME, MSG US Army Retired and 65^th Infantry veteran

“Este directorio es, con sus reliquias imágenes, un ejemplar testamento de un grupo digno de nuestro mas alto respeto y perpetua admiración. Aunque la gran mayoría de sus voces descansan en eterno silencio, sus radiantes rostros perdurablemente relucen, por lo honorable y generoso que ha sido el dedicado servicio militar de estos valientes boricuas.” 
– GABRIEL FUENTES, III, hijo de veterano del 65 CPT Gabriel Fuentes

“This directory is, with its relic images, a model testament to a group worthy of our highest respect and unending admiration. Although the large majority of its voices rest in eternal silence, their radiant faces will shine forever because of how honorable and generous the dedicated military service of these brave Boricuas has been. ”
– GABRIEL FUENTES, III, son of 65th veteran CPT Gabriel Fuentes

“Congratulations on completing such a wonderful book.  It is a great companion to your film, ‘The Borinqueneers’.  Now I can put names and faces to those brave Boricuas of the 65th Infantry Regiment who fought and died in the Korean War and all those you so eloquently profiled in your groundbreaking film, one that has drawn praise and acclaim worldwide for both you and the veterans.  The book is an invaluable resource. Besides the personal photos with Borinqueneer names, dates, ranks, units and the like, it contains a brief history of the regiment, medals awarded, a list of all regiment commanders and those wounded or killed.  Though I understand it is not all-inclusive, your exhaustive work on this book speaks for itself.  To my knowledge, no one has ever done such a tribute to the 65th Infantry vets before!  I salute you for this accomplishment.  I thank you for providing us with such a valuable resource which I’m sure will be treasured by many, especially the veterans themselves, their families, and all the people of Puerto Rico and the Diaspora, including me.   I’ll cherish it all my life. Long live the Borinqueneers!”
– ANGEL CORDERO, SFC, US Army Retired
