A Thankful Shout-Out To Latino Troops And Veterans

Latino troops count for approximately 17.7% of the armed forces. Once we shift our frame-of-thought from numbers to real time, the reality is that thousands of Latinos have been affected by the harsh reality of war. Whether you know someone who has been deployed or experienced the battle first hand, all of the voices share a common thread of struggle and survival. Many of our stories remain untold, but MTV News recently documented war veteran, Willie Vasquez's life on the battleground. We are sending a thankful shout-out to ALL Latino troops and veterans.
