Honoring the Latino Heroes this Memorial Day
Querida familia LCLAA,
As we approach to Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Among them, our countless Latino service members, heroes who fought bravely, carries our flag into battle, and laid down their lives to defend our freedoms and democratic values.
Their name, their stories, and their legacy are woven in the fabric of our country. Yet, today we face an outrageous injustice: the removal of Latino names from Arlington National Cemetery. This is not just an administrative decision, it is a erasure of memory, an assault on history, and an insult to the sacrifices of our community.
We urge to all our members, allies, partners, friends, and family to not remain silent. We must stand and oppose to actions that harm the dignity and memory of our fallen brothers and sisters. Just as they fought for this nation, we will fight to ensure that their names are never forgotten.
Their legacy lives on in every union member who organizes for justice, in every Latino family who raises their children with pride in their heritage, and in every voice that speaks truth to power.
On this Memorial Day, let's us remember and recommit to protecting the honor of those who gave everything for our nation.
Nuestros hermanos y hermanas caídas serán siempre recordados!
In Solidarity,
Evelyn DeJesus,
LCLAA National President.
