Letters to the Editor, Week of November 14, 2026

Thank You For Highlighting the Faith and Fortitude of the 65th Dear Editor: Your piece was well balanced and captured the vibe, feeling, and essence of their story and legacy (“Mass Mobilization: How Faith Carried Puerto Rico’s 65th Infantry Through the Korean War,” Nov. 7). I hoped my small contribution helped you achieve that. On behalf of the veterans and soldiers from the Regiment, who are no longer able to do so, I extend a heartfelt thank you. Anthony Mele Rockland County, New York Dear Editor: I really appreciate that the diocese really cares about our forgotten war heroes (“Mass Mobilization: How Faith Carried Puerto Rico’s 65th Infantry Through the Korean War,” Nov. 7). I also appreciate that you reached out to the living veterans to hear their stories about how their faith in God kept their will to live, and no matter what happened, their faith in God never wavered.
