Latino Pride
The War
Air Date: 01/01/2007
In Mexican American traditional culture, patriotism is very important. Many Nebraskans with Mexican roots enlisted and served proudly in the military during World War II. Even though Nick Garcia and his family experienced prejudice at home, Latino Pride kept them from shirking military duty. In this video, Garcia describes his experiences on Okinawa and what it was like to finally go home. This segment is one of THE WAR: NEBRASKA STORIES interstitials.
