The 65th Infantry Regiment, nicknamed "The Borinqueneers", was an all-volunteer Puerto Rican regiment of the United States Army. Its motto was Honor and Fidelity. It participated in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. In 1956, the 65 Infantry was deactivated and became the only unit ever to be transferred from an active Army component to the Puerto Rico National Guard.
Puerto Ricans have participated in every major American military conflict, from the American Revolution.
On February 12, 1951, General Douglas MacArthur, was quoted in Tokyo saying the following:[19]
"The Puerto Ricans forming the ranks of the gallant 65th Infantry on the battlefields of Korea…are writing a brilliant record of achievement in battle and I am proud indeed to have them in this command. I wish that we might have many more like them."

So much pride and so much to be proud of. They must be proud of the over 700 murders on their island in 2007. Or how they throw cats and dogs off bridges to dispose of them. Mi Orgullo!
So much pride, so much to be proud of, yet they all come here to live. If you are so proud of your island why leave? That's what I always wonder. I guess you're really not that proud after all or you'd stay there. I guess since you know we don't want you here that you all band together and try to show us your bravado.
These people are such an embarassment to themselves with these celebrations, yet they don't realize it. Do they honestly think that we don't know about who they are and where they came from?
Just look at what they have done to Kissimmee over the past 10 years and all the once decent neighborhoods they have devalued and left in shambles. Dirve through Poinciana or BVL to see the real pride of Puerto Ricans and to see what they are really all about.
You can't take people who lived in a ghetto, with a ghetto upbringing, and mentality, and put them in a suburan environment and expect that they will know how to conform or function. They have no clue because they have never lived it or experienced it in their lives. They are all coming here to Central Florida from the slums of New Jersey, NYC, Philly and their island: which is entirely a slum except for the tourist areas. These people have brought nothing but trouble and destruction to Kissimmee, Central Florida and every other place they have taken over. So again I ask: what are you all so proud of?

Funny how groups who have the least to be proud of are the ones that have the most of these types of events.
