11 DE SEPTIEMBRE
Dios Salve A America!
In the lonely, yet magnificent, heart of the City of Manhattan...on a beautiful and warm September morn, with death, devastation and despair, soot and smoke all acrid in the air...a young Dominican priest, Father Santiago, knelt nearby. In his vestments he came, nobody asked him to, nobody knew he was there. He blessed himself, and then he began: "In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiriti Sancti. May the Lord have Mercy. May the Lord, in his Mercy, Raise You Up...," and once again, as it has been repeated for millions since the time of Christ, the Sacrament of Extreme Unction was performed: May God Bless You and bring you into blessed union and happiness with Him forever.... And, as the priest prayed, the words came to him of the old Irish Catholic poem: " The Captains and the Kings depart, but still stands Thine ancient monument, a humble and a contrite heart."
We at the Hispanic-American Marine Corps Non-Commissioned Veterans Association wish this gracia for all the American martyrs killed in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, and for all those veterans who have served, and do serve today, in the Armed Forces of the United States.
Dios salve a America!
En casa de la Asociacion recordaremos que la comunidad hispana esta tambien al frente, unida y desafiante ante el dolor de Septiembre y la amenaza extranjera.
Los Estados Unidos venceran!
Venceremos!
"None of us will ever forget this day,
Yet we go forward to defend Freedom and all that is good and just in our world."
- Presidente George W. Bush

**************
In 1895, the Spanish king decreed that the rural Cubanos be re-located into urban concentration camps en Cuba, so that los Insurgientes could not harness the activities of these rural workers in the countryside. Hundreds of thousands of Cubans died in this atrocity, prompting Los Estados Unidos to become involved in a new war in an act of humanidad.
Viva Cuba Libre! Vivan Los Estados Unidos!

There are those who say that drug dealing and drug using are non-violent crimes.
We know an Hispanic crack dealer in Miami. He is a poor man, and sells two rocks per day, for a profit of $20 per day, or $140 per week.
In his neighborhood alone last year, 5 people were murdered by his crack users because of the hatred in their hearts enhanced by the rock; 500 Hispanic kids accepted drugs as a way of life because they saw their parents, his customers, use crack; and over 1,000 people were terrorized by property crimes by his people.
There are those who say that the small narcotrafficante is not a narcoterrorista. We disagree, and we disagree also with the prosecutors and judges who say otherwise. They are all terroristas, and all terroristas should be brought to justice. With extreme prejudice, in our opinion.
"Five percent of the total population of Washington, D.C. are drug dealers selling hard drugs."
-From the Rand Corporation report, as reported on "The Mclaughlin Report," PBS-TV, 4-5-02
And there a lot more...a lot more...truly evil murderers and guilty people walking around in America who have never been to prison than there are innocent people who have been to jail.
"All drug users support terror."
-Ad run on NBC-TV's Opening Ceremonies segment of the 2002 Winter Olympics, by the Partnership for a Drug Free America and the Office of National Drug Control Policy
And in case you haven't been watching the news in America generally, and specifically, in Florida: in South St. Petersburg ( a black neighborhood) during March and April, 2002, anti-narcotic police officers have been fired upon in their unmarked vehicles; have had two bombs thrown at them; and have confronted two anti-police uprisings on the street.
The politically correct local police department response: Nada.
Let's get this straight, America: Federal law mandates that every man, woman and child in America who has even one rock of crack in their possession goes to prison for five years minimum. It's time America really started enforcing this federal law instead of treating it as the joke it's become among drug dealers. If we did, instead of concentrating on traffic and white collar offenses, we'd clean up these barbarian narcoterrorists here inside of one year, and for good. And good riddance. (And they want to know how to cure the drug problem! We just told them.)
That's our opinion, and we're sticking to it.

The Hispanic-American Marine Corps Non-Commissioned Veterans Association does not solicit contributions from its membership or the public but if you want to help Hispanic victims of the 11 de Septiembre tragedy or Hispanic families of veterans from all five service branches who are killed in la Guerra Contra Las Terroristas, we highly recommend the 11 de Septiembre Fund of the U.S. Navy Veterans Association. You can earmark your check to this fund to make sure it goes to where you want it to go. You can contact them and receive instructions on how to make a contribution by clicking on their link on the "Favorite URLs" Section on this Homepage. On their Homepage, go to the Membership and Contributions Section.
*************
The Secretary of the Treasury said on 2-6-02 that there were "130 million Americans employed." We think that the correct way to measure unemployment in this country, instead of using just the rolls of those applying for unemployment compensation, would be to take the total population, subtract the number employed, all students enrolled and all those over 65, and divide by the total population. This would give us a more "accurate" figure of the unemployed.
**************
In 1915, Imperial Germany (one of their submarines, actually) sank the Lusitania, a passenger steamship, off the coast of Ireland, killing 128 American men, women and children. Kaiser Wilhelm II's government claimed, of course, it was an act of self defense, and that America and Britain had placed munitions on board bound for England. Sound familiar?
The murder of the Americans on board the Lusitania, and its sinking, were the catalyst for our entry into World War I a year and a half later in 1917. We Americans have a national penchant for giving these guys who hate us the benefit of the doubt, in 1917, as well as today. But that's part of our character. We bend over backwards to accomodate our enemies, drug dealers, and the violent prone. We want to make sure these groups are given their "rights." Well, God Bless Us for that viewpoint, but we hope we do not destroy the country, in the process of giving that viewpoint a ridiculous dimension, in order to save it.
**************
You know, we've heard this chant in the United States and the world over: "One man, one vote; one man, one vote!"
Well, if you're evil like Osama bin Laden, we don't think your vote should count. Ever. Period!
*************
It's ideas about what man is about that will change the world, not internet technology, or technology at all, not professional sports, not Bill Gates, not John Elway, not Britney Spears. Muhammed understood that; Moses understood that; and Jesus understood that. It's about time we, as Americans in 2002, understood that, and paid attention to it.
**************
Let's be honest about all modern (and otherwise good) democratic governments. We like the BBC-TV show "Yes, Minister," which makes this philosophical point clear. A modern government in a modern democracy has secrets, plenty of them, as to both their domestic and foreign agendas They also have a penchant for sneaking, without transparency of purpose, these agendas through, regardless of whether these governments are of the left or of the right, onto the public and then, fait accompli, explaining and smoothing out the result, especially if someone objects (and history proves, as to faites accomplis, that they don't, most of the time).
The Association doesn't like any of this, and our membership doesn't. It's not good for democracy, and it's certainly not good for America. Secrecy, when it's true secrecy, as applied to national security, and especially tactical national security, is fine, but when that same secrecy is applied to an overall political domestic policy purpose, that's wrong, and we need to say so as citizens. If you were elected (or if you're running for office), say what yoy stand for explicitly, including down to every line item in your proposed budget; why you stand for it, and then work it through (Hey, you can do it!). You owe that to the people, and it will stand you and your philosophy better than wishy-washy nonsense in the long run.
**************
Lenin once said that the West was composed of fools because we were weak and stupid and that not only would Communism "hang" us, but that we would sell the Bolsheviks the rope to do it with.
We think these fanatic Arab-Muslims believe the same thing, and we need to deal with them the same way, (and for the same reasons) President Reagan dealt with the Soviet Union, that is, by consigning their idealogy to the ash heap of history, permanently.
**************
"If we're going to kill every terrorist in the world, well, that's going to keep us going until doomsday."
-U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (D-WVA), 2-27-02
Well, Senator Byrd, ye of Ku Klux Klan fame, we can't think of a finer cause to keep us going even beyond doomsday, in the cause of freedom under the rule of law, which was a universal value of our Founding Fathers, and good, in our opinion, from the beginning of time to the end of time.
**************
BREVE INFORMATIVO:
Interested in joining the Marine Corps and want to talk to an Hispanic recruiter?
Call Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Rudy Garcia in Seminole, Florida at (727) 392-7511. Sgt. Rudy will talk to you en espanol, and explain the benefits, and find a recruiter for you in your area. Sgt. Rudy is 27, grew up in a Mexican-American home in Oregon with seven brothers and sisters, prefers a high school diploma in a candidate, lean over fat and confidence over gung ho.
And don't worry about the mom problem. Garcia kept his plans to join the Corps a secret from his mom, but he's good en espanol in explaining to mothers why the Corps might be a good idea for you.
He even will help you prepare for boot camp, but he's not as hard as a drill instructor. Two out of ten recruits flunk boot camp.
So, if you can handle the truth, give Sgt. Rudy a call.

For Those Who Died Para Nosotros:
The American Flag was raised over Mount Suribachi upon the bodies of thousands of dead Marines from the 4th and 5th Divisions. Each night spent on Iwo meant half of all the Marines you knew would be dead tomorrow, a coin flip away from a bloody end upon a patch of sand your mother could not find on a map.
Hispanic Marines spent years tortured in Vietnam in small, filthy cells unfit for a dog. In Korea, Hispanic Marines helped rescue a nation from communism, and Hispanic Desert Storm warriors repulsed the bloody Saddam from raping and pillaging an innocent Kuwait.
The American Flag and the Marine Corps Emblem represent your Hispanic-American mother and father, your sister and brother, your friends, neighbors and everyone at home.
As to Latino immigrants: Their Hispanic brothers and sisters may still languish in their native land often under poverty, misery or Castroite tyranny.
With tired pilgrims' feet, many died on the way here, never to touch our shores or land. They had a dream that took them here, a dream steadfast in the eye of the storm, of a new and shining place, while many they left behind saw friends and family tortured by their own governments for daring to do things Los Americanos take for granted every day.
For those who risk everything simply for the chance to become an American, like Senora Olaes, almost killed at the Pentagon on Terrible Tuesday...what kind of feelings do they have for our Flag when they pledge allegiance for the first time? For their former flag they do not care; our Flag unfurled they kiss Liberty's Cloth.
Go to a naturalization ceremony and see for yourself, the tears of pride, the thanks, the love and respect, for this Nation, as these new Americans of Hispanic descent embrace our American Flag as their own.
As to the Hispanic mothers of someone who gave their life for America in combat:
When that Latino son or daughter is laid to rest, their family is given one gift by the American people, an American Flag.
Ask that Senora Perez o Senora Jimenez to spit on her Flag or burn it.
We can wonder what the Founding Fathers thought of the original Stars and Stripes as they drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia over two centuries ago. They knew this act would drag young America into war with England, the greatest power then on earth. They also knew failure meant more than just a disappointment. It meant a noose around their necks. But they needed a symbol, something to inspire the new Nation, something to represent the seriousness, the purpose and conviction with which we held our new idea of individual Freedom.
Something worth living for. Something worth dying for.
Away from family, away from the precious shores of home, in the face of overwhelming odds and often in the face of death, the American Flag inspires Hispanics and all Americans who believe in the dream that took them here, the American promise, the American vision that still beckons to a billion hopes of millions of lives everyday far from our shores....
Los Americanos who don't appreciate our Flag don't appreciate this Nation.
And those who appreciate this Nation appreciate our American Flag.
Hispanics who fought, fought for that Flag.
Hispanics who died, died for that Flag.
And those Hispanics who love America, love that Flag, and defend it.
So if you are offended by the Stars and Stripes or our National Anthem, before you attack them... We Marine veterans of Hispanic blood have a simple request:
Talk first to those Hispanics who defended our Nation in the Corps so that you might be free today.
Talk to those Latinos who struggled and struggle to reach our shores so that they may join us in the American dream. And talk to those Senoras Miranda o Rojas who clutch the Flag in place of their sacrificed sons, daughters and husbands who defended Los Estados Unidos so that others may be free.
For we cannot talk to those who died wishing they could, just once again, see, touch or kiss the American Flag,
The Hispanic veterans who gave their lives defending it, this Flag that stands for Estados Unidos Nuestros...the Greatest Nation on Earth.

"This country serves as the repository of freedom, and the hope of a billion dreams each day throughout the world for that idea."

Spain's Support for the American Revolution
In 1785 George Washington, after the Revolution but prior to becoming our first President, wrote a letter to King Carlos III of Spain, thanking him for his support of the birth of the fledgling United States during the War of Independence.
For at least five years during the American Revolution, Spain had sent more supplies and money than had been requested to help the American colonists succeed in what must have appeared to have been an impossible dream. Spanish men from old Spain and throughout the Americas fought in the conflict.
The American Revolution used funds collected from people living in the present states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California-all then a part of Espana Nueva. Eventually, thousands of Spanish troops fought British troops throughout the Americas.
Britain, France and Spain had extensive colonial holdings which they all used to further the commerce of the mother country. This commerce was designed to garner wealth and therefore power. That power required a well-trained and equipped army and navy. To become powerful, a country needed to sell more than she bought, and to control as much territory as possible.
After nearly half a century, the inconclusive standoff involving ongoing warfare among these three European powers was about to be transformed by the rebellion of 13 obscure British colonies across the Atlantic. Carlos III's Spain eased into this disturbance to become a deciding factor. With Spain's involvement came a number of individuals who contributed to the birth and independence of the United States of America.
The Marquis de Grimaldi, who preceded and handpicked Count Floridablanca as Minister of State, oversaw the initial secret aid to the American colonies. He set Spanish tone and policy that Floridablanca inherited and continued.
Spain's entire effort in the struggle was overseen by Floridablanca. Described as wily, clever and astute, Floridablanca concocted a strategy of patience before committing his country to war. After Spain declared war on Britain, Floridablanca oversaw an aggressive effort.
In talks with the French about a Spanish-French alliance in support of the American Revolution, de Grimaldi, and later Floridablanca, made it clear that Spain wanted at the end of hostilities: Gibraltar, Minorca; the Floridas, especially Pensacola; Jamaica and the Bahamas; Mexico, Honduras and the Campeche coasts cleared of British establishments; and Britain out of Central America.
Floridablanca was careful not to send mixed signals to Spain's many colonies in Latin America. He did not openly recognize the rebelling British colonies. Nor did he want to alienate Britain before Spain joined in the engagement. In maintaining Spain's diplomatic etiquette, Floridablanca insisted that official business with the Americans be handled through Spain's Minister to France, who was stationed in Paris. For this reason, Pedro Pablo y Bolea, the Count of Aranda, became a prominent person in the Americans' attempt to arrange aid.
Aranda, who later replaced Floridablanca, met with the first American commission, composed of Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane and Arthur Lee. The Continental Congress had charged the commissioners in late 1776 to travel to Europe and seek foreign help in breaking the British naval blockade along the colonies' Atlantic coast. Aranda invited the commissioners to his house in Paris, where he quickly ran into a language problem because he did not speak English and the commissioners spoke no Spanish and little or no French.
Apparently they overcame the problem. In the course of his ambassadorship in Paris, Aranda became fond of the fledgling colonies and their struggle. Lacking Floridablanca's realpolitk, Aranda recommended an early amd open Spanish commitment to the American colonies. He was overruled and obediently accepted the decision. He was placated by the knowledge that Spain was matching France's overt aid with covert aid of its own.
Another important figure to assist the colonies' struggle for independence was Bernardo de Galvez. He helped the cause through diplomatic, financial and military exploits against Great Britain in the Mississippi River Valley, on the Gulf Coast, including the Floridas, Louisiana and in the Gulf of Mexico, from 1776, when he became governor of Spanish Louisiana, until 1783 when the American Revolution ended with the Treaty of Paris. Galvez' patience, audacity, appreciation of frontier people, diplomatic knowledge and military skill all greatly contributed to the eventual British defeat.
Galvez arrived in Louisiana with explicit royal instructions that refected the commitment of Carlos III to restore Spain's international prestige and grandeur through economic reform, government restructuring and innovation in colonial enterprise. An Anti-British, pro-American colonies attitude was implicit in his orders and obvious in Galvez' activities.
Although Galvez did not advocate the republican or democratic principles that the American Revolution came to symbolize, he was representative of the enlightened spirit of 18th Century European regeneration and reform. More importantly, his monarch wanted to recoup the losses of the recently concluded Seven Years War won by Britain. The American rebels not only provided the opportunity but also had the demonstrated potential of becoming a future and lucrative trading partner.
Long before Spain declared war on Britain, the American colonists received aid from old Spain. In 1776, Spain dispatched one of its largest fleets ever to the Americas, where it smashed British smuggling operations along the Brazilian coast and took Uruguay from the Portuguese, who were British allies.
Before declaring war, Spanish aid focused on Galvez' covert activities in New Orleans, where he received support and encouragement from Havana. Through the efforts of Oliver Pollock, an Irish-American merchant from Virginia, Galvez succeeded in supplying the successful campaigns of George Rogers Clark, who fought the British foe in the trans-Allegheny regions.
While facilitating American shipping in the Gulf of Mexico and up the Mississippi River, Galvez closed the River to the British, often using in the process the first Hispanic marines to fight on behalf of American liberty.

SEMPER FI - A SHORT HISTORY OF THE MARINE CORPS
The U.S. Marine Corps, officially a part of the U.S. Navy, traces its origins to the American Revolution. It was re-created in 1798 during the undeclared war with France by Thomas Jefferson. For much of the 19th Century, the Marine Corps served as a lightly armed constabulary at sea, mostly to enforce order and discipline aboard ship and to man small landing parties for infrequent forays ashore. One such expedition was against the Barbary pirates in Libya during the Tripolitan War of 1801-1805. In addition to their normal duties in support of the Navy, Marines also served with the Army in suppressing a rebellion by the Seminoles in Florida and in the Mexican War. A Marine battalion participated in the storming of Chapultepec and the capture of Mexico City in 1847.
Between the Civil War and the Spanish-American War, various commandants of the Corps instituted reform measures. In 1870, the muster rolls listed barely 2,000 "leathernecks" (as they were sometimes called). Reformist efforts focused on the quality of the Marines. Beginning in 1883, all Marine junior officers came from the U.S. Naval Academy. A reformist element within the Navy wanted to deploy Marines in battalions, readily available to the various fleet commanders. Such usage had already been demonstrated during an incursion into Panama in 1885 and again with the expeditionary force that landed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1898. Some senior officers in the Navy argued that the manning for these "ready battalions" could be accomplished by eliminating Marines from their traditional duties aboard ships.
With the era that followed the Spanish-American War, the Marine Corps was used to provide the constabulary for infantry duties as part of the U.S. military involvement in the Caribbean well into the interwar era. Marines served also in a variety of overseas capacities in Latin America and East Asia. The Marine Corps also served during World War I with the American Expeditionary Forces in France.
In 1927, the Joint Army-Navy Board Gave the Corps a new mission: amphibious assault in support of naval operations. The Board assumed that, in the event of war with Japan, the Marines would be responsible for seizing Japanese held islands in the Pacific. The Corps developed a doctrine of amphibious warfare, which appeared as "The Tentative Manual for Landing Operations" in 1934. During World War II, Marines, sometimes in conjunction with the Army, won a number of bloody battles in the Pacific on islands whose names would go down in history. During World War II, the Corps expanded from about 1600 officers to about 38,000 and from about 26,000 to about 447,000 enlisted men. Nearly 90,000 Marines were killed or wounded during the Second World War; eighty Marines earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Although a small number of women had been accepted briefly during the World War I era (known as "Marinettes"), more than 18,000 woman Marines served in World War II, and many chose to remain in uniform after the War.
A postwar effort to reduce the size and limit the mission of the Marine Corps was thwarted. Nonetheless, on the eve of the Korean War, the Marine Corps numbered barely more than 70,000. Although used initially with the Army to buttress the collapsing forces of the Republic of Korea, an understrength 1st Marine Division, under the command of U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur, staged a successful amphibious landing behind enemy lines at Inchon in September 1950 that paved the way for the liberation of Seoul and helped break the back of the North Korean invasion into South Korea.
Between the end of the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the Marine Corps embraced the concept of vertical envelopment using helicopters to move troops beyond the beachhead. Early in 1965, Marine units were among the first U.S. combat units deployed to South Vietnam. Ultimately, two Marine divisions and an air wing, as well as support elements and the headquarters of the III Marine Amphibious Force, served in Vietnam. Of approximately 55,000 Americans KIA in Vietnam, 13,000 were Marines.
For almost a decade after the end of the Vietnam War in 1973, the ills plaguing American society as a whole impacted upon Marine ranks: social unrest, exacerbated by racial tension; substance abuse; and recruiting difficulties resulting from public disenchantment with the Vietnam conflict. By the 1980s, however, the Marine Corps had coped successfully with these problems while enhancing its amphibious capabilities. In 1982, Arab terrorists murdered 220 Marines with a truck bomb when they blew up the Marine barracks on the Beirut Airport. Almost simultaneously with the Beirut tragedy, the 22d Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU) landed on the northeast corner of Grenada, helping to free that island nation from a murderous pro-Castroite thug who had taken over. During the Persian Gulf War in 1991, amphibious units maneuvered and demonstrated to convince the Iraqi leadership that an amphibious invasion of Kuwait was imminent, and an entire Marine Amphibious Force (two divisions, supported by an air wing and two force service support groups) stormed north from Saudi Arabia to help breach Iraqi defenses to free Kuwait.
Today the Marine Corps serves proudly in the War in Afghanistan, and we will update our service in that conflict, right here, as that war progresses.
