ing, went back to the fight and was killed in
Germany in 1945. His dad’s brother, U.S.
Army Sgt. Manuel Rodriguez, served in
Vietnam and was killed in 1967. Both had
been Mexican immigrants.
“Both of these men, Sgt. Manuel Ro-
driguez and Pfc. Tino Acevedo, fought
and died for their country, this country,
our great country,” Rodriguez said. “I’m
proud of what they did and what they went
through. I’m proud that I can carry on a
piece of their names with me, and most of
all, I’m proud that I can even say I’m related
to these two great Americans.”
Returning to his original question,
Rodriguez asked rhetorically, “do I
consider myself a Mexican-American, a
Hispanic American?”
“The answer is no,” Rodriguez said.
“I’m a proud American, that’s of proud
Mexican descent.”
