(Special Invitees include FL Governor Scott, US REP Posey, US REP Grayson, and many others.) The brave US 65th Infantry Regiment from Puerto Rico (many now live in the States) which linage was created by Congress in 1899--played a prominent role in our American Military—bravely participating in three U.S. wars (WW-I, WW-II, Korea and other conflicts). Its Colors were passed to the Puerto Rico National Guard which continues the brave Infantry tradition of defending our great USA. Dennis Freytes (VP NAUS SE Region & Son of Borinqueneer Celio Freytes-Menendez—CIB w/Star (WW-II and Korea) says, our noble Borinqueneers loyally served and fought for the good of all, they suffered discrimination, segregation, and limited US Citizenship (no vote in Federal Elections nor have just representation in Congress). They fought in step with their Ancestors (roots) who discovered Florida/ USA-brought advanced civilization (of the times) and Christianity -107 years before the Pilgrims; fought in the US War of Independence, Civil War, and other conflicts in defense of our great USA Flag. General of the Armies Douglas MacArthur, once stated: “the Puerto Ricans…of the gallant 65th Infantry on the battlefields of Korea by valor, determination, and a resolute will to victory give daily testament to their invincible loyalty to the United States… They write a brilliant record of achievement in battle and I am proud indeed to have them in this command. I wish that we might have many more like them!” The Borinqueneers (US 65th Infantry Regiment) from the US Territory of Puerto Rico (PR) stand to receive the Congressional Gold Medal (CGM)-highest Congressional Award, if Congress approves legislation (HR 1726 & S.1174). Key Sponsors: US REP Posey, PR RC Pierluisi, and US Senator Blumenthal. Some Co-Sponsors: US Senator Rubio, US Senator Nelson, and others. They need your strong support to get 290 US House, 67 US Senate Co-Sponsors, and our President for passage. We hope you Partner with other Patriots; pay tribute to all American Veterans and 1st Emergency Responders; plus urge Congress to duly recognize the Borinqueneers’ (from Puerto Rico-Boriken) for their enormous sacrifices, and un-usual obstacles they valiantly overcame in defending our USA. The brave Borinqueneers deserve a place with all American Heroes for their great epic feats as they fought for the good of all: Family, Community, USA, & Humanity!
