Ok, so I'm helladumb when it comes to Mexican history... is this all true?
It's a very interesting story, regardless, but just wondering if it's accurate.

I know everything up to the last few paragraphs is true.

The part about hopping the border to fight in WWII and PGI seems a bit odd to me, but interesting if true. I've had a few Mexican (immigrants and naturally born) friends, and I don't recall any of them saying anything of the sort. Could still be true, but kind of sounds like spin to me.

Yeah, that last part was way to warm and fuzzy

It's got the motivations wrong. Army service is a good path to US citizenship, that's why they do it.
