THE BORINQUENEERS PUERTO RICO
65TH INFANTRY REGIMENT
The 65th Infantry Regiment, comprised primarily of Puerto Ricans, began as a volunteer regiment in 1899 and participated in WWI and WWII. It was during the Korean War, that they made their mark and saw extensive combat. In this website dedicated to their accomplishments, you will find their history, photographs, newspaper articles, listings of their many award recipients, and sadly, a listing of those who sacrificed their lives defending American ideals. As we celebrate over a century of service to the nation and commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War, we invite you to pay tribute to those Puerto Ricans and fellow Americans who served proudly. Visit these pages and remember and honor them. We would be honored and grateful if you considered adding this website dedicated to Puerto Rico's 65th Infantry Regiment, U.S. Army, as a link on your website.

AMERICAN LEGION DEPARTMENT OF PUETO RICO
The American Legion is thriving in the Department of Puerto Rico. A number of posts conduct events, help the community, and provide companionship and remembrance for one another and those who came before.
In June 2011, the Legion joined forces with the Department of Defense 60th Anniversary of the Korean War Commemoration Committee, including Col. Clark, in order to recognize all Puerto Rican veterans who had served during the Korean War. The committee returned to Puerto Rico in September 2012, and again invited the Legion to join them while they recognized specifically the veterans from the 65th Infantry Regiment. Joining DOD was Raquel Ortiz, producer of the film “Borinqueneers.” Several of the regiment members were featured in the film.
