The history of this famed unit goes back to 1898 when it was fonned as a battalion and by 1899 it was nearly fully staffed

In 1900 it was increased fiom battalion to regimental strength and called the Porto Rico Regiment ofYolunteer Infantry

During WW I the regiment was moved to the Panama Canal to guard the Canal Zone but the unit did not go to Europe It does have the distinction of having fired the first shot of World War 1 It happened like this

First shot of World Wa r I fired at German ship During this period units were stationed

at variou forts throughout the island One was located at EI Mora Castle at San Juan Bay A lieutenant named Marxuach was the officer of the day on March 2] 1915 when the German anned supply ship the OddenwaJd tried to force its way out of the bay and deliver supplies to Gelman subs waiting in the Atlantic Ocean

The lieutenant gave the order to open fire on the ship from the walls of the fort Sergeant Encarnacion Correa then maned a machine gun and fired warning shots at the ship with little effect Marxuach then fired a cannon shot at the ship in what is considered the first shot of World War I fired by the regular armed forces of the United States against any ship flying the colors of the German Empire The Odenwald was forced to stop and return to the port where its supplies were confiscated

During World War n the unit was shipped to North Africa for training and security missions and in December 1944 thegt

Five Years Later - Korea On August 26 1950 the 65th departed

from Puerto Rico and arrived at Pusan on September 23 It was during the long sea voyage that the men of the unit nicknamed the 65th the Borinqueneers The name is a combination of the words Borinquen which is what the Tainos called the island before the ani val of the Spaniards and Buccaneers

The men of the 65 th now attached to the

Annys 3d Infantry Division met the enemy on the battlefields of Korea After November 1950 they fought daily against units of the Chinese Communist Force (CCF) following their entry into the war

One of the hardships suffered by the Puerto Ricans was the lack of wann clothing during the cold and harsh winters The enemy made many attempts to encircle the regiment but each time they failed because of the many casualties inflicted by the 65 thbull

In December 1950 the regiment was part of a task force that enabled the US Marines to withdraw fi-om the Chosin Reservoir when the Mrunes became encircled by the Chinese US forces close to the Manchurian border were ordered to fall back and work their way down to the port of Hungnam The men of the 65th were rushed to their defense and ordered to stay behind and fight the enemy As a result the Marines were able to return safely to their ships

The Borinqueneers held the rear guard along with an US Army annored field artilIery unit and were the last unit to embark from Hungnam

The 65 th was later awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Conunendarion Medal for this action (End of Part One Part Two will continue next issue)

The Ceasefire

LEST WE FORGET Although much recognition was given to recognizing The Borinqueneers and their contribution to the war and rightfully so and the fact that the event was held in Vietnam territory and graciously hosted by Vietnam Veterans of Central Florida we cant fo rget that the day was officially set aside in recognition of the 58

lh Annlversary

oftbe Korean War Ceasefire

Gen ~lark Clarke siglling the docllment We all thought and hoped that the

momentous occasion would herald the end of the shooting (and it did for a while) but hostility would continue in perhaps a lesser fonn but nevertheless continue makjng the Korean War the United States longest war on record And we must not forget that

65 th was conunitted to action in the Maritimes Alps where the 3rd Battalion defeated Germanys 34th Regiment of the 10ih Division The umt returned to its base in Nov 1945

Five Years Later - Korea On August 26 1950 the 65th departed

from Puerto Rico and arrived at Pusan on September 23 It was during the long sea voyage that the men of the unit nicknamed the 65th the Borinqueneers The name is a combination of the words Borinquen which is what the Tainos called the island before the ani val of the Spaniards and Buccaneers

The men of the 65 th now attached to the

Annys 3d Infantry Division met the enemy on the battlefields of Korea After November 1950 they fought daily against units of the Chinese Communist Force (CCF) following their entry into the war

One of the hardships suffered by the Puerto Ricans was the lack of wann clothing during the cold and harsh winters The enemy made many attempts to encircle the regiment but each time they failed because of the many casualties inflicted by the 65 thbull

Supported Ma rines at Cbosin Reservoir

In December 1950 the regiment was part of a task force that enabled the US Marines to withdraw fi-om the Chosin Reservoir when the Mrunes became encircled by the Chinese US forces close to the Manchurian border were ordered to fall back and work their way down to the port of Hungnam The men of the 65th were rushed to their defense and ordered to stay behind and fight the enemy As a result the Marines were able to return safely to their ships

The Borinqueneers held the rear guard along with an US Army annored field artilIery unit and were the last unit to embark from Hungnam

The 65 th was later awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Conunendarion Medal for this action (End of Part One Part Two will continue next issue)

Chaplains Reflection Adding to a wondefjitl day at the Bunker J was slllprised to be given a poem that was jound on the body ofa i9-year-old soldier in Vietnam compliments qfMichael Gentz First Vice Commander island X4 Seabees ojOrlando given to him by his dad A SOLDIER AND HIS GOD

Look God - I have never spoken to You but now -1 want to say How do You do You see God they told me You ctidnt exist and like a fool I believed all of this Last night from a shell-hole I saw Your sky - I figured right then they had told me a lie Had I taken the time to see the things You made Id know they werent calling a spade a spade

I wonder God if youd shake my hand Somehow I feel that You will understand Funny I had to come to this hellish place before I had time to see Your face Well I guess there isnt much m re to say but Im sure glad God 1 met you today 1 guess the zero hour will soon be here but I am not afraid since I kn0w You are bere The signal - well God 1 have to go I like You lotsmiddot this I want You to know Looks like this will be a honible fight Who knows - I may come to YOW house tonight Though I wasnt friendly with You before I wonder God - if Youd wait at YoW door

Look - I run clying me shedcting tears I wish Id known You these many years Well I have to go now God - goodbye strange - since I met you - lm not afraid to die OW thanks to Ivuchael who served in Vietnam 1966-67-68 for his service God is good He is Love He is always waiting to hear from us -Tom ClIllerton+Chapiain KWVA Chapter 173
