The True Story of the U.S. Army's all Mexican American Combat Unit in World War II
In 1939 there were two Texas National Guard units in El Paso Texas, Company E was composed entirely of Mexican Americans from the barrios of El Paso. As more Mexican Americans joined the guard from south Texas, they were assigned to Company E. Author Dave Gutierrez details the segregation and discrimination of the time and follows the men from the barrios of Texas to some of the most horrific battles in Italy during World War II. The men of Company E were part of America's Greatest Generation. Some enlisted, some were drafted, but serve they did and they served with distinction and pride not because they were Mexicans, but because they were American Patriots. They just happened to be PATRIOTS From The BARRIO.
