If it becomes reality, the National Hispanic Military Heroes Museum would honor 42 Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients, Latino admirals and generals, Hispanic astronauts, fighter pilots, Latino veterans who are female and the "Aztec Eagles," pilots and support personnel from Mexico who were in World War II, also known as El Escuadrón 201 (Mexican Expeditionary Force 201st Fighter Squadron), among other exhibits.
The museum also would recognize "everyday" Latino veterans, according to a preliminary proposal.
One of the positive results of World War II is that it brought many of us together. This kind of whining pushes us apart. Wonder how many of my Irish ancestors will be honored along with El Escuadrón 201?
