Since nothing has been added this year, I’ll post the list of KIA’s from home, the United States Territory (Commonwealth) of Puerto Rico (either born in, entered service at, buried at or with strong family ties to the island).
I hope that the American People, especially the Congress, honor their sacrifices and that of those upthread by not getting in the way and allowing our troops to continue and finish the mission. CHARLIE MIKE!
