Mary Ann, thank you for those kind words. I just tell my kids,g/kids the nice things that
happened. Others I sidestep the questions but they understand, especially when I show
them my scrapbook. unfortunately I don't have souveniers to show. That's another
story. I certainly like your way of putting things down in writing. Yes my family (Riojas),
was involved, My youngest brother,(Joshua), Korea, the other,(Henry), battle of the Bulge,
of course my son, Jr. Vietnam, Grandson, (matthew), Desert Storm. My Dad, Mexican Revolution 1910, died 1974 and
still an immigrant, all he had was a green card. No matter what anyone says WE ARE PROUD. AS an after thought--- I got a call at 11am today. The supervisor of the K.C.Mo.
Public Library is going to take me to the NBC TV studios on Sept. 17 to do a live interview
on The question of the neglect of Mexican American WW 11 Veterans I'll stop here.
I talk too much. Mary Ann I love your input. Roque,(Rocky)
