This small sampling of how we know our past generations gave for this 'country' should magnify the ignorance of people like Mr. PBS documentarian Ken Burns and text book editors that ignore us. <BR/><BR/>Blogging can at least begin the conversations that could lead to further truths and revelations.Pachuco 3000https://www.blogger.com/profile/17650790531408080300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999548308554269568.post-50044550340181961042008-01-25T19:18:00.000-08:002008-01-25T19:18:00.000-08:00awww. nice story telling. me gusta.awww. nice story telling. me gusta.Wendy Carrillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085580056982178737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999548308554269568.post-35778788880022323452008-01-21T16:58:00.000-08:002008-01-21T16:58:00.000-08:00i have a deep love for boyle heights, because much...i have a deep love for boyle heights, because much of my family is from this area, but also it's a place where you witness life, love and loss in it's many forms. <BR/><BR/>i hear this viejitos voices, as my own great grandfather who was also a veterano of war. he is our city, stepping up to the challenges They placed on us, because it was the right thing to do. because just like everyone else, they wanted to live and give the american dream to their wives, children and finally grandchildren. there is so much history in those hills, you can just feel it when you Walk through them. <BR/><BR/>it would be wonderful to have these forgotten, remembered and realized stories documented recorded and finally passed on. the oral tradition has disappeared, sucked up by the fast pace to nowhere.<BR/><BR/>i've actually read some real life accounts from soldiers, and am amazed by the blatant luck involved in surviving to tell their tale.<BR/><BR/>thank you for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999548308554269568.post-37560961143458021112008-01-17T02:07:00.000-08:002008-01-17T02:07:00.000-08:00I've heard some WWII stories from my ex who's abue...I've heard some WWII stories from my ex who's abuelito served in the war.
