AI Summary
This resolution honors Wisconsin's Hispanic and Latino veterans by recognizing their significant historical contributions to military service in the United States. The resolution highlights several key points, including the long history of Hispanic and Latino Americans serving in armed conflicts dating back to the Revolutionary War, the distinguished service of the all-Hispanic Borinqueneers during the Korean War, and the achievement of General Richard Edward Cavazos as the first Hispanic four-star general in the U.S. Army. The document notes that approximately one in every 12 veterans is Hispanic or Latino, with this proportion expected to grow as more Hispanic and Latino Americans serve across all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the efforts of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison and the War Memorial Center in Milwaukee for preserving and showcasing the stories and contributions of Hispanic and Latino veterans, thereby ensuring their important military service is remembered and celebrated.
