Puerto Ricos 65th Infantry Regiment U.S. Army

 The 65th Infantry Regiment, comprised primarily of Puerto Ricans, began as a volunteer regiment in 1899 and participated in WWI and WWII.  


It was during the Korean War, that they made their mark and saw extensive combat.


In this website dedicated to their accomplishments, you will find their history, photographs, newspaper articles, listings of their many award recipients, and sadly, a listing of those who sacrificed their lives defending American ideals.


As we celebrate Veterans Day, we invite you to pay tribute to those Puerto Ricans and fellow Americans who served proudly. 


Visit these pages and remember and honor them. We would be honored and grateful if you considered adding this website dedicated to Puerto Rico's 65th Infantry Regiment, U.S. Army, as a link on your website.
