For me it would have to be my father. I remember when he came home from Vietnam when I was 7. As he was walking through the airport in Kansas City, MO. He was cursed, spit on, called baby killer and all other sorts of vile names. I remember his reaction to all of this. He never lost his military bearing, never spoke, he just looked straight ahead, wrapped his arms around us, gathered his baggage and led us out the door. He is the reason I went into the military. To me he was all that was right with this Country and the World. Rest in Peace dad.

Col. Juan SeguĂn
Hero of the Texas Revolution and hispanic
How many of you ever heard of Colonel Juan Nepemucene Seguin? Does his name sound familiar? It ought to: yes, the city of Seguin, Texas was named for this hero of the Texas revolution. Excerpt from Texas history:
“On May 30, 1836, General Thomas Jefferson Rusk, who had assumed command of the Republic’s army in the absence the wounded Houston, authorized Sequin “to recruit for the service of Texas a Battalion of men in whom you can place confidence not to exceed in number 112 men rank and file for the purpose of being stationed in Bexar.””
“As a proportion of the population, the active participation of Hispanic native and immigrant residents in the struggle for independence of Texas from Spain and Mexico was equal to or greater in specific battles than that of resident immigrants from the United States of the North” – Don Guillermo, historian, Sons of DeWitt Colony Texas
Myth about Texas
Democrat Latinos unaware of their true history follow the mendacious fiction of Maria del Rosario Castro, the mother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro. She said of the defenders of the Alamo they were “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.”Saber es poder, amigos. Knowledge is power, my friends. Learn the true history of Hispanic heroes of the Texas Revolution. Becareful as many do not like the heros of the Alamo just like Southern hold outs hate Lincoln, Grant and Sherman.
Many of the those fight as Texans were Hispanic. They did not like Santa Anna

I respect Marines, especially those who "keep it real" do not forget who they are but rise to their position. Thank you to those Marines who lived what they spoke.

Flag of our Fathers is a great book and gives tremendous insight about what the monument really cost in human terms....
