    The Borinqueneers - aka The 65th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army (Part Two)

    Send us a text The Borinqueneers were a kickass, all-Hispanic, mostly Puerto Rican, unit of the US Army. These servicemen and women served honorably and with distinction during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.  Part Two covers the operations in Europe during World War II, including one soldier’s account of fighting the Germans in the Maritime Alps during the holidays (roast porcupine, anyone?). Despite having to also battle racism, these brave soldiers made invaluable contributions that helped the Allies win the war. Los Borinqueneers fueron una unidad excepcional — todos hispanos, en su mayoría puertorriqueños — del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Estos militares sirvieron con honor y distinción durante la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y en la Guerra de Corea. Parte Dos cubre las operaciones en Europa durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, incluyendo el relato de un soldado sobre cómo peleó contra los alemanes en los Alpes Marítimos durante las Navidades (¿alguien quiere puercoespín asado?). A pesar de tener que enfrentarse también al racismo, estos valientes soldados hicieron contribuciones invaluables que ayudaron a los Aliados a ganar la guerra. CONNECT WITH US!
