Thursday, October 15th marks the end of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The official month takes place partially in September and partially in October, with celebrations beginning on September 15th. It is important to continually recognize and celebrate Hispanic heritage, and we feel that as the last day of the official month we would share a post in honor and celebration.  Last Plane Out of Saigon would especially like to recognize veterans with Hispanic roots who have served our country.


​General Alfred A. Valenzuela
from the U.S. Army speaks to the importance of recognizing the efforts made by Hispanic Americans as our Nation’s defenders:

Last Plane Out of Saigon, paints a canvas that illustrates that Hispanics and Americans all bleed RED. Whether drafted, volunteered, or convinced that the Army is better than going to jail, the 1% of 300 million Americans served their nation with pride and patriotic service. Hispanic Americans are and have been a key catalyst to defending this nation. Scores of KIAs and MIAs have been highly decorated for their action on the battlefield. They are to be commended."  
                                                                               - General Alfred A. Valenzuela, U.S. Army
As a fellow veteran, Hispanic American and author, General Valenzuela’s remarks serve as the perfect reminder to celebrate all Americans who serve. Both General Valenzuela and Last Plane Out of Saigon author Richard Pena celebrate their Hispanic roots every day and especially this month.
If you are interested please check out General Valenzuela’s book No Greater Love: The Lives and Times of Hispanic Soldiers.
