Dear Primos, readers and friends:

Hope your summer is going well. It is wonderful to receive your
articles and hear of all your good community activities. Thank you for
sharing. Your stories inspire others.

Unfortunately, the issue of PBS documentary of WW II which excluded the
contributions of Latinos is not solved. Ken Burns attitude is reflected
in the fact that the DVD that he distributed to the media DID NOT
include the 2 Latino segments and one Native American segment that his
studio produced. For the latest update, go to www.DefendTheHonor.org.
Your comments and support are very welcomed.

Warm Regards, Mimi
