My son was not a U.S. citizen when he joined and served in the U.S. Marines for four years of his life. He loved his country then, and he loves it now. The Marines needed a light weapons armorer so they sent him to a U.S. Army school to learn how to maintain and repair light infantry weapons. While at the 1st LAR Battalion, he helped bring his unit arms room up to and above standards to pass inspection and helped the unit win special recognition for that. The old man held his orders to go on float until he had about a year left on his enlistment. Before leaving the Corp, the U.S. Marines helped him get his citizenship papers. My son was a "green card" Mexican citizen/U.S. veteran, now he's a proud U.S. citizen fluent in two languages and running his own successful new house construction business.
Hopefully him and his family never, ever forget where he came from....✊🏽❤️🇲🇽💯
Siempre Fiel
Thank you for this brother, every Mexican and immigrant appreciates you.
Every American appreciates you also. Anyone who does not, is not truly an American
Marcario García was also Mexican born metal of honor recipient from WWII
His country.....damn right!
SEMPER FI MARINE YOU PAVED THE WAY FOR THE ONES AFTER YOU TRUE HERO
A real American hero
A genuine hero. The Raza is real. Viva Aztlan
🇺🇸/🇲🇽
Gracias nuestrom hermano en el cielo
From one Marine to another ...
Cpl. Pérez, J.A.
The correct recognition for you who made the ultimate sacrifice for a country you believed in and comrades you loved RIP>
RIP EAGLE WARRIOR!!
They should make a movie about him. I think the guy that played Selena's brother can play that part. Or that Mexican guy that played Friday's part 2.
A movie of Jose Lopez Mendoza better..
Hollywood doesn't make movies of Mexican/American war heroes. Ever seen a movie about Guy Gabaldon, WWII? Captured over 1500 Japanese! Or, Roy Benavidez? What Sgt Benavidez did, makes Rambo look like a boy scout.
True American Hero, gracias mi hermano.
True Warrior! God bless!
Heroes nunca mueren....
Thankyou
I served with third marine div in vietnam i know of at least 5 non citizens i served with in the ninth marine regt i have no complaints they served honorably the were marine 100%

Great recognition and video
We need the truth to be known about all the Mexicans that fought in WW2 and were some of the highest decorated of the whole war.

Thank you for sharing this story. In bootcamp recruits learn his name in the Marine Corps manual. I beleive he is burried in Mexico? The VA wouldnt pay for his headstone because he was in Mexico. I beleive congressman had to get involved. Mexicans have made big contributions in the Military. We just enjoy the tough life.
Small sample of what is to be a patriot even though not a citizen or obligated to served
But moved by gratitude
Let it be an example for today’s white citizens born in privilege
They don’t make them like that since WWII! Many non US born citizens have take the call and fought for this country. Many of them paid the ultimate price for this country to continue to have their freedom. Ungrateful Natural born citizens, if you ask me! Many of them White race are ignorant of the many non-white sacrifices that was done and when the Axis Powers were defeated, them heroes returned to a segregated country!
Like Jose Biden!
First, he *is* a Marine. Second, he happened not to be an American citizen when he became a Marine.
Damn, Undocumented, loved his country, and gave his life for his Country. What was Trump’s excuse again?
1:01 you probably missed this part
"He was living here on a green card..."
@ShockZ 👈Well to be fair, the DemocRAT party has people about the same age and didn't go to Vietnam either. What was their excuse too??? Please explain.
@@deplorablepocdetejas1989 who brought up Democrat’s?
@@shockz9159 👈and were in the video did it speak about TRUMP?
✊🏽❤️🇲🇽💯
Dont know if it still holds true, but the sons of Mexican immigrants hold the number of the MOST CMoH recipients.
Dont say the name of those have the medal honor whitout papers somebody can call the ice and get deportation
Barack Obama did it after Jan.20, 2013!
Marines lead the way
No comments of white Americans I see
Democratics Americans!
