I’m sure that all the people you mentioned as stamp honorees are very deserving, but we have forgotten the most important person in the history of Puerto Rico. Our first Puerto Rican Governor, Luis Muñoz Marin, the only Puerto Rican politician that didn’t fleece the people to make himself rich!! The man that made us the Estado Libre Asociado that we are today.

Response:  Luis Muñoz Marin was honored with a U.S. commemorative 5-cent stamp in 1990 as the subject of the first stamp in the Great Americans Series.

Is about time the That the people of the world get this information. Is sad to know that still us Portoricans are not consider nor treated like what we are U S A. citizens and Many of us Hero of war. I enjoy every minute of it. and forever be so proud and thankful of my people, My 65th Infantry. My Angels.

i’am a Borinqueneer, Korean War 1951, recipient of the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, CIB and other condecorations. I’am also a Vietnam Veteran 1967/68. I just finished a book titled “Corea y Vietnam” Dos Guerras que quise Olvidar”. Tan pronto salga de imprenta le enviaré una copia a El Pozo Productions.

I attended an event in NYC at the Viet Nam Memorial on Water Street., NYC. It was the first annual Welcome Home Vietnam Vets. There were veterans from every war, present. I met a man named Thomas Lopez who served in the Korean War. Was he one of the Borinqueneers?

Response:  We do know a 65th veteran named Thomas Lopez who volunteers at the Bronx VA Hospital.  But we cannot tell you with certainty that this is the same person.

Un caluroso saludo desde PANAMA, Puente del Mundo Corazòn del Universo. No he tenido la oportunidad de ver el documental de The 65th Infantry Regiment/Borinqueneers pero si estoy leyendo su historia en internet en www.valerosos.com y claro que representaron muuuuuy bien a nuestra Isla del Encanto y me doliò mucho ver el listado tan largo de tantos fallecidos, desaparecidos, heridos y la gran mayorìa puertorriqueños. TODOS merecen una condecoraciòn y homenaje pòstumo para los que fallecieron . No tuve la oportunidad de conocer a mi padre PORFIRIO MENDOZA DAVILA,nacido en Las Piedras,Puerto Rico debido a que al nacer yo en julio de 1950 fue enviado a Korea. Investigando via internet descubrì que el està en un listado de Enero/51 en 65th Infantry Regiment/MedicalCo con el RA30435377 PFC. Al regresar dos años despues mi madre y el no pudieron volver a encontrarse pues ella tuvo que emigrar al interior del paìs por motivos econòmicos. Atraves del PEOPLE FINDERS creo haberlo encontrado en 5801 Denver Street, St Petersburg, Florida., pero no aparece su nùmero de telèfono y por ahora me es imposible viajar. Serìa posible de que alguien me diera una idea como ubicar su phone number ? A solicitud de mi hija e hijo estoy tratando de localizarlo pues ellos desean conocerlo. Mi abuelita se llamaba ANTIPA DAVILA y se que tenìa un hermano solamente. Perdonen el atrevimiento por aprovechar este espacio pero la verdad es que ya tengo un par de años en esta investigaciòn. GRACIAS MIL por su digna atenciòn a la presente y que el TODOPODEROSO ME LOS BENDIGA HOY Y SIEMPRE.

Hello, I am sorry to bother all. I am here in search of some information on my grandfather. His name is Jose Manuel Rosado. He was part of the 65th Infantry, 3rd Division (if I remember correctly) in 1950. He was just recently told by his docotors he is ill and has anywhere from a year to 6 months from now. My grandfather really never talked about his time in the Army. He did not make it to the Korean War. He states he was on his way to the airplane with his gear, when he was told he would have to stay behind and train others. He told my father (his son) that he regreated he did not die next to his friends. I would like to see if I can get anymore information about my grandfather’s time in the Army before he passes. I also want my children (11 year old boy and a 4 year old girl)to know more about their great-grandfather, who they have had the honor to know.

This is a sad time for Puerto Rico to lose one of our greatest heroes, SFC Modesto Cartagena. Our thoughts and prayers will be with his family during this time. He will live forever in our hearts like so many of the 65th soldiers, including my daddy. To all Borinqueneers forever in our hearts and prayers!

TO: The Borinqueneer community From: Cartagena family I regret to inform you that my Grandfather Modesto Cartagena who appeared in the documentary passed away this Tuesday morning. Funeral arrangements are pending for this Friday the 5th. I believe the burial ceremony will be at the Veterans Cemetery in Bayamon. I would like to thank all the people who ever helped and gave my grandfather any recognition and thank you for featuring him in the documentary. Carlos Cartagena (Grandson)

On behalf of myself and my family, I like to present my deepest condolences to the family of SFC Modesto Cartagena for his honorary service. Like we say in Puerto Rico ” el fue un jibaro bravo y probao hasta lo ultimo y murio con las botas puestas ” rest in peace SFC Cartagena and the peace of God be in your soul.
