You probably haven't heard about Miguel Encinias. He was in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam as a pilot. I've never heard of him either. After reading about his mikitary career, I've decided this is a true patriot and a brave man. Enjoy his story.
SANTA FE, N.M. (Tribune News Service) — Miguel Encinias, a Las Vegas, N.M., native who fought in three wars and received three Distinguished Flying Crosses, died peacefully in his sleep Saturday. He was 92.
His son and daughter said he died of natural causes in an Albuquerque nursing home.

So many good men and women have served our nation. Shame that most of the time we don't learn about them until after they are gone. RIP

That is a true and great statement SGT Russell Colburn. There are many many service members like Miguel. I wish I knew about all of them.
