To my brown brothers. I am a black man who was young at the time of the outbreak of the Vietnam war. The war was televised during the 60's and early 70's. I can recall the carnage of the Vietnam conflict, and thinking to myself as to why we as Americans were over their in south east Asia. Particularly the brown man and also the black man. Recalling in those days how racist our society was at the time, and how blacks and Chicano were closely knitted at the time, when it came to human rights. I had known that we had lost an awful lot of Americans namely black and brown soldiers who believed foremost that, they were Americans first! So I'm writing this to all who have died and lived with this war, that I want to say thank you for fighting for this country...be it right or wrong. You fought with honor...thank you my Chicano brother. And thank you my black brothers for fighting for what you believed in.

My cousin Ray a Mexican immigrant enlisted at 18 fresh out of high school in1966. He trained as a copter medic. He did two tours of duty as a helicopter medic. Sweeping in picking up the wounded and the dead. His copter got shot down just as it was landing to pick up GIs. He was injured and shot, but survived. Earning him a Purple Heart and a couple other medals. He spent the next 20 yrs haunted by all the human bodily damage he had to deal with in trying to save lives and those that died. In those days there was no awareness of PTS. He once told me every time the helicopter landed and he had to jump out to help with the wounded or the dead, he said it would all go silent in his head and all the war noise would come back full volume once the chopper started to leave. He died at age 51 after years of health issues related to his injuries. He once told me, “it sucked fighting for a country he wasn’t born in only to be called names (beaner, wetback, greaser) by white peoples who never served

1967, Houston, quit school, hung around my Chicano friends, getting into mischief, my best friend told me "hey, lets join the army", I said OK, I was 17 years old. So my mother & oldest brother signed for me to go, on the day I was leaving, my so call best friend says "my mom bought me a car, I'm not going", so I left for Ft. Polk, Basic Training & AIT Tiger Land, hung out w/my new Chicano Friends there, most from San Antonio, I was the only one from Houston. Out of about 12 Chicanos, only 4 of us came back home alive. Roam from job to job, finally settled down no drinking, no smoking, got a job at a Hospital, and retired, am I at peace? Well every now and then, I get emotional, and now I am in the Sun Set of my life, I served w/Honor and fought like hell ! I would do it again. When I cam home, my "best friend" was in prison, for murder, amazing.

As many times as he has pissed me off, I am here if he needs me. I respect the ones who stood up to the government and protested the war. I don’t respect those who lashed out those who served.

José M. López Rank and organization:Sergeant, U.S. Army, 23d Infantry, 2d Infantry Division Place and date:Near Krinkelt, Belgium, December 17, 1944 Entered service at:Brownsville, Texas Born:Santiago Ihuitlán Plumas, Oaxaca G.O. No.: 47, June 18, 1945 Citation: On his own initiative, he carried his heavy machinegun from Company K's right flank to its left, in order to protect that flank which was in danger of being overrun by advancing enemy infantry supported by tanks. Occupying a shallow hole offering no protection above his waist, he cut down a group of 10 Germans. Ignoring enemy fire from an advancing tank, he held his position and cut down 25 more enemy infantry attempting to turn his flank. Glancing to his right, he saw a large number of infantry swarming in from the front. Although dazed and shaken from enemy artillery fire which had crashed into the ground only a few yards away, he realized that his position soon would be outflanked. Again, alone, he carried his machinegun to a position to the right rear of the sector; enemy tanks and infantry were forcing a withdrawal. Blown over backward by the concussion of enemy fire, he immediately reset his gun and continued his fire. Single-handed he held off the German horde until he was satisfied his company had effected its retirement. Again he loaded his gun on his back and in a hail of small arms fire he ran to a point where a few of his comrades were attempting to set up another defense against the onrushing enemy. He fired from this position until his ammunition was exhausted. Still carrying his gun, he fell back with his small group to Krinkelt. Sgt. López's gallantry and intrepidity, on seemingly suicidal missions in which he killed at least 100 of the enemy, were almost solely responsible for allowing Company K to avoid being enveloped, to withdraw successfully and to give other forces coming up in support time to build a line which repelled the enemy drive.

16:30 That was a badass moment, major respect for that guy. You can be anti-war, but don't disrespect the people that fought because you didn't

These are the real stories that you don't hear about on some of the other documentaries. When I was growing up there was a mexican kid friend of mine who lived on the same street whose dad was in Vietnam. He had pictures we used to look at of his dad while he was in Vietnam. They were quite interesting.

They sure don't. Up to 750,000 Mexican American men served in World War II, earning more Medals of Honor and other decorations in proportion to their numbers than any other ethnic group. They don't talk about that or this story either. On Saipan, Marine PFC Guy Gabaldon, a Mexican-American from East Los Angeles who had learned Japanese in his ethnically diverse neighborhood, captured 1,500 Japanese soldiers, earning him the nickname, the “Pied Piper of Saipan.

In the Pacific Theater, the 158th Regimental Combat Team, of which a large percentage was Latino and Native American, fought in New Guinea and the Philippines. They so impressed General MacArthur that he called them “the greatest fighting combat team ever deployed in battle.” We can't let them forget about stories like that.

José M. López Rank and organization:Sergeant, U.S. Army, 23d Infantry, 2d Infantry Division Place and date:Near Krinkelt, Belgium, December 17, 1944 Entered service at:Brownsville, Texas Born:Santiago Ihuitlán Plumas, Oaxaca G.O. No.: 47, June 18, 1945 Citation: On his own initiative, he carried his heavy machinegun from Company K's right flank to its left, in order to protect that flank which was in danger of being overrun by advancing enemy infantry supported by tanks. Occupying a shallow hole offering no protection above his waist, he cut down a group of 10 Germans. Ignoring enemy fire from an advancing tank, he held his position and cut down 25 more enemy infantry attempting to turn his flank. Glancing to his right, he saw a large number of infantry swarming in from the front. Although dazed and shaken from enemy artillery fire which had crashed into the ground only a few yards away, he realized that his position soon would be outflanked. Again, alone, he carried his machinegun to a position to the right rear of the sector; enemy tanks and infantry were forcing a withdrawal. Blown over backward by the concussion of enemy fire, he immediately reset his gun and continued his fire. Single-handed he held off the German horde until he was satisfied his company had effected its retirement. Again he loaded his gun on his back and in a hail of small arms fire he ran to a point where a few of his comrades were attempting to set up another defense against the onrushing enemy. He fired from this position until his ammunition was exhausted. Still carrying his gun, he fell back with his small group to Krinkelt. Sgt. López's gallantry and intrepidity, on seemingly suicidal missions in which he killed at least 100 of the enemy, were almost solely responsible for allowing Company K to avoid being enveloped, to withdraw successfully and to give other forces coming up in support time to build a line which repelled the enemy drive.

Some of the men in Vietnam were not Chicanos - born in Mexico, naturalized citizens "rewarded" with a trip the jungles of Southeast Asia. My husband was Infantry, awarded a Silver Star although he was put in for a Distinguished Service Cross (downgraded most likely due to his ethnicity).
