regated unit in United States military history, was man-
dated by Congress to be comprised primarily of Puerto 
Ricans; 
Whereas the 65th Infantry Regiment became better known as 
the Borinqueneers from the word Borinquen, the name

Whereas the Borinqueneers, throughout their service in 
World War I, World War II, and, most notably, the Ko-
rean War, served with distinction; 
Whereas the Borinqueneers demonstrated their military 
prowess in Korea and earned the respect and admiration 
of their fellow soldiers and military authorities, most no-

Whereas the Borinqueneers were sent to battle on the front 
lines in Korea and participated in nine major campaigns 
during the Korean War; 
Whereas the Borinqueneers made valuable contributions to 
the war effort, including by suffering a tremendous num-

lation of Puerto Rico;
•HRES 443 EH

served praise, including two United States Presidential

its fine tradition as an active unit in the Puerto Rico
