Washington, DC—Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi today expressed his gratitude to President Obama, who will award the Medal of Honor posthumously to four soldiers from Puerto Rico for actions taken in the Korean War and in the Vietnam War. The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military award for bravery. On March 18th, President Obama will officially award the medals to the families of the four deceased soldiers—Staff Sergeant Félix M. Conde Falcón, Master Sergeant Juan Negrón, Private First Class Demensio Rivera, and Private Miguel Vera—at a White House ceremony. These four Puerto Ricans are among 24 soldiers who were originally awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation’s second highest military decoration, which is now being upgraded to the Medal of Honor after an extensive review by the federal government authorized by Congress. “The Medal of Honor is reserved for those members of the armed forces who exhibit personal bravery or self-sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty. I want to thank President Obama and senior military leaders for recognizing the actions of these four soldiers from Puerto Rico, who are a source of tremendous pride for our island,” said Pierluisi. Staff Sergeant Félix Conde Falcón, originally from Juncos, Puerto Rico, will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for courageous actions performed on April 4, 1969 in Vietnam. Those actions resulted in Mr. Conde Falcón’s death. Master Sergeant Juan E. Negrón, originally from Corozal, Puerto Rico, will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for courageous actions taken on April 28, 1951, in the Republic of Korea. Mr. Negrón passed away in 1996. He will be the first member of the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers, to receive this award. The Regiment was composed mostly of soldiers from the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, and its toughness, courage and loyalty earned the admiration of many people who had previously harbored reservations about Puerto Rican soldiers based on stereotypes. Private First Class Demensio Rivera, originally from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for courageous actions performed on May 23, 1951, in the Republic Korea. Mr. Rivera died as a result of those actions. Private Miguel A. Vera, originally from Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, will be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for courageous actions taken on September 21, 1952, in the Republic of Korea. Mr. Vera lost his life during these combat operations. “I am so proud that these American soldiers from Puerto Rico are being recognized for their extraordinary heroism. Although many years have passed since the actions that have now earned them this award, their service and sacrifice should never recede from our nation’s collective memory,” said Pierluisi. Meanwhile, the Resident Commissioner has been leading the effort, along with Congressman Bill Posey of Florida and Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, to award the Borinqueneers with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor awarded by Congress, in recognition of the Regiment’s pioneering military service, dedication to duty, and many acts of valor in the face of adversity. The House bill, authored by Reps. Pierluisi and Posey, has 273 cosponsors, and requires 290 cosponsors in order to proceed in the legislative process. The Senate companion bill, introduced by Sen. Blumenthal, has 35 of the 67 required cosponsors. “As evidenced by the heroism of men like Master Sergeant Juan Negrón, the 65th Infantry Regiment has served our nation with great skill and tremendous grace, and we believe it is time that Congress pay tribute to the unit’s remarkable legacy through the Congressional Gold Medal,” said Pierluisi.
