A
Word To Our War Heroes
 THE
U.S. HAS BEEN FIGHTING, the War on Terrorism for over a year now, and
although the fight isn’t over yet, it’s important for us to
keep our U.S. soldiers in our prayers. After all, they are the brave
souls who are fighting to protect us and our country. Also, it is important
to realize that among the soldiers, many of them are not just Latino,
but Latinos. In a recent QV Magazine poll, we asked you, “If
you could say anything to these Latino heroes, who are fighting
the War on Terrorism, what would you say to them?” Here’s
what you said:
SALUTE
TO YOU!
“For one, I salute you for the work well done on taking care of
America. Second, thanks for showing America that we Latinos are not
lazy, good-for-nothings who don’t do anything for our country.
We are considered the minority, but when it comes down to it, we are
there for our country.” —34 years old, Hollywood, CA
YOU
ARE NOT ALONE!
“You are not alone! You have all of your family and loved ones
here in the Latino community praying for your safety. Also, thank you
for protecting our freedom and country.” —29 years old,
Los Angeles, CA
KICK
THEIR ASS!
“It is very difficult in this life to be a Latino—then
you add being a Latino in the military? To have a Latino male
serving our country is something we are all very proud of—and grateful
to have. Keep up the great work! Kick their ass!” —22 years
old, San Diego, CA
GOD
BLESS YOU!
“Thanks for protecting the country, even though it seems like the
country does not support and protect the people of color who live here.
Stay strong, brave, and God bless you!” —27 years old,
East Lansing, MI
KEEP
YOUR HEAD UP!
“You Latinos are doing a great job—kick some ass. If you
weren’t over there doing your best, it would be one less person
helping America in this time of need. Keep your heads up...with the
red, white, and blue.” —19 years old, Santa Fe, NM
YOU
ARE BRAVE!
“I would say you are the bravest group of Latino men! You all
set an example of how much we love our country. NO MATTER IF WE ARE
QV OR NOT!” —38 years old, Chicago, IL
WELCOMING
YOU!
“Thanks for fighting against terrorism. I am here to welcome you
when you come back with victory!” —27 years old, Avenel,
NJ
MY PRAYERS
ARE WITH YOU!
“My prayers are with all of you every day. I lost friends on 9/11.”
—29 years old, New York, NY
ADMIRATION
TO YOU!
“I have so much appreciation and admiration for what you guys are
doing to protect the people of our country. Also, to be QV and Latino...that
takes so much courage and self respect. I truly admire your strength.
Take care and peace!” —22 years old, Cypress, CA
REAL
MEN!
“Wow, I guess I would start off by saying thank you for all that
you’ve done and continue to do! Being QV and in the military,
I suppose, is not an easy thing. It takes balls and a real man to stand
up and support what he believes in. I never thought of anything to say
until I was just asked, so I want you all to know that we are praying
for you and hoping for the best. I love you guys, and we will succeed!”
—25 years old, Newark, NJ
