WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS
Revolution and Terror in America’s Colony
Historic Photo of the Day: Two Borinqueneers in Korea
The 65th Infantry Regiment was composed entirely of Army soldiers from the island of Puerto Rico. For this reason they called themselves the Borinqueneers.
They served in both World Wars, the Korean War, and the war on terror.
They fought so bravely, and sustained so many casualties, that they were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2014.
This photo was taken in Korea during the Korean War. There is something joyful yet sad about their flag. Just a few years earlier in 1948, Public Law 53 – aka the Law of the Muzzle – had been enacted in Puerto Rico.
That very flag, which they hold with such touching pride, was made illegal by Law 53. They could go to jail for 10 years, just for owning one.
These young men had to go to war, and risk their lives, to find a place where they could open their flag.
