As the Producer of the documentary film "The Borinqueneers", I applaud and support such a wonderful recognition for our veterans.
This would be a blessing and and honor to have known the work and sacrifices the Borinqueneers did during WWI, WW2 , and the Korean War.My support goes full in this effort. `Honor et Fidelitas' Respectfully, Jonathan Asencio Puerto Rico Army National Guard 130th Engineer Batallion Combat Engineers 2006-2007 Baghdad, Iraq O.I.F. IV
A conaming in el barrio is necessary and proper as el barrio is home to the second largest concentration of Borinqueneers in the country. The first being Puerto Rico. Juan Varela NYC Delegate Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal Alliance
Recordando a todos los Boricuas que han servido en las Fuerzas Armadas de Los Estados Unidos Americano esto sería un grand tributo a todos ellos. Gracias a los que están al frente de esta iniciativa. de parte de mi familia y mi tío ya fallecido que fue parte de la 65th de infanteria
I truly had the honor & pleasure of preforming our Bomba cultural music for five surviving Borincaneers in Orlando Florida last year. They truly filled the ceremony with true Pride & Honor in their presence.
I am all for recognizing any outstanding fighting unit. I also respect their stand down protest initiatiated by an inept continental officer. Other units did the same when they felt conditions warranted decisive action yet they were not punished. Glad the Borinqueneers were exonerated. Just for the record I am an Italian American who grew up and worked in Brooklyn NY and would have appreciated knowing about these patrons while living there.
Let do it in there honor.

Borinqueneers, hombres humildes y valerosos . Muy merecido aunque tardío reconocimiento. Me alegra q mi padre pudo recibirlo a sus 88 años.
