Hello John!

Today, we highlight the proud history of military service that many Latino
families have honored for generations. There’s no question that members of these
families often view military service as the ultimate “duty to country” in their
communities.

We hear from Carlos Luna [ [link removed] ] ,
President of Green Card Veterans, LULAC Council 5310 [ [link removed] ] ,
an immigrant from Mexico, who served in the U.S. Navy.

Carlos strongly believes that Latino culture and embracing immigrants are
important for communities everywhere. He is working today to bring all his
experiences as an immigrant and veteran to serve others in Chicago. He shares
that we must recognize immigrants’ contributions, especially as they are among
the most decorated military service groups. Approximately 530,000 veterans were
born outside the United States, which represents 3 percent of all 18.6 million
veterans nationwide, according to a report in early 2019 by the Migration Policy
Institute.

Carlos is a dedicated advocate in his community, and he encourages everyone,
especially Latinos, to become more involved in their communities. He believes
that together, we can serve others who may not have the privileges we may hold.
