Today we remember and pay tribute to our Chicano veteranos who fought in World War II and Vietnam. To read more about their vidas and struggles, I suggest the following books & DVDs:
"Soldados: Chicanos in Vietnam" by Charley Trujillo (available through Chusma House Press and featured in PBS' POV Series)
& "Soldados: Chicanos in Vietnam" (DVD) by Charley Trujillo and Sonya Rhee

A Legacy Greater Than Words: Stories of U.S. Latinos and Latinas of the WWII Generation (Paperback) by Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez
***
Vietnam Veteranos: Chicanos Recall the War (Paperback) by Lea Ybarra (Author), Edward James Olmos (Foreword)
***
Mexican Americans and World War II (Paperback) by Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez (Editor)
Check out this 2003 article about Chicanos remembering Vietnam by News Media America titled: "Latinos' Vietnam Stories: From Fieldworkers to Warriors"
Also, History.com has a great tribute page for all veteranos: Memorial Day.
We will always remember your struggles...
