AI Summary

This Resolution officially designates April 13, 2020, as "National Borinqueneers Day" to honor the remarkable bravery, dedicated service, and ultimate sacrifice of the Puerto Rican soldiers who served in the 65th Infantry Regiment. This regiment, originally formed in 1899 and later incorporated into the regular United States Army as the 65th Infantry Regiment in 1920, earned the nickname "Borinqueneers" during the Korean War, a name derived from the indigenous Taino name for Puerto Rico. The resolution acknowledges their significant combat contributions in World War II and the Korean War, highlighting the numerous commendations and awards received by both the unit and individual soldiers, including a Congressional Gold Medal awarded in 2016. Furthermore, it expresses deep gratitude for the contributions of all patriotic United States citizens from Puerto Rico to the Armed Forces and encourages participation in activities that celebrate the distinguished service and sacrifices of these military veterans and Puerto Rican and Hispanic service members.
