The Korean Conflict saw many Hispanic Americans again respond to the call of duty.
    They served with distinction in all the Services.

Many Hispanic Americans chose to serve in combat units like the
Marines and Paratroopers; much like their brothers, cousins,
and friends had done in World War II.

Many Mexican Americans from barrios in Los Angeles, San Antonio,
Laredo, Phoenix, and Chicago saw fierce action in Korea. Fighting in almost
every combat unit in Korea they distingusihed themselves through courage
and bravery as they had in previous wars.

Nine Hispanics received the Congressional Medal of Honor for
Heroism in the Korean Conflict.

Their actions are summarized in the Medal of Honor Section.
