Your WWll concern

edit
  • Luis, how are you? Thank you for posting your concern. This is some great stuff which you have posted and I congratulate you on the fact that you want to set the record straight. Don't make the corrections, I will do it, so that it will flow within the articles (I wrote both of them).

Even though it is true that the 65th Infantry and Puerto Rican National Guard Units were made up of Puerto Ricans who resided in the island and that those who were fluent in English were sent to regular Army units, it does make sense and there is a logic behind assigning Puerto Ricans to non-Puerto Rican units in the Canal Zone, thereby permitting mainland soldiers to be assigned to units overseas where most of the heavy fighting was taking place.

Who am I? I'm Tony Santiago and one of my main objectives is to write about the untold contributions which we have made to the U.S. and world in general. That is why I enjoy it when people such as yourself point out certain facts which sometimes slip through the cracks of history, thereby honoring men such as your father and uncle. I will look into this, this I promise. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your Prompt Response

edit

Thank you very much for the prompt action you took regarding my suggestions. My father served in HQ Battery, 762nd AAA Gun Battalion. An uncle served in Batty D, 766th AAA Gun Battalion. I never heard information about my uncle's service. I heard some sparse information about my father's. I have been researching the antiaircraft artillery battalions in Panama and their overall history, but it has been more like pulling teeth!

I never served in the military but was a volunteer for the Civil Air Patrol. I also represent the American soldier as a volunteer of the Army Ground Forces Association. This association represents several Coast Artillery organizations. I work with them when they have activities at Fort Hancock, part of Sandy Hook, a national park and at Fort Mott, a state park, both in New Jersey. The unit we present at Fort Hancock is 1942 Battery E, 245th CA and at Fort Mott is 1940 21st Coast Artillery. We wear period uniforms, and have been able to acquire and repair communications equipment such as switchboards, 1941 fire control telephones, azimuth instruments, a searchlight. At Fort Hancock we are also maintaining the guns and ammo hoist. Fort Mott also acquired an M1 90 mm antiaircraft gun in an M1A1 mount. Needs lots and lots of care, but that's to be expected...

Take care,

Luis Ramos

Added A New Section

edit

Added a new section including some comments from the book Guarding United States and Its Otposts and a section on whether the segregation of Puerto Ricans may be racism.
