This episode is brought to you by the Museum’s Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War & Democracy. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, join us for a conversation from July 2020 with Dave Gutierrez, author of Patriots From The Barrio. Patriots From The Barrio is a true World War II story of the men that served in the US Army's all Mexican American Combat unit, Company E, 141st Infantry Regiment of the 36th Infantry Division. The 141st Regiment is the oldest fighting unit in the state of Texas and traces its roots back to the Texas Revolution. Deployed to North Africa in April 1943, Company E took part in the Allied landing at Salerno, Italy, in September 1943 and fought at San Pietro, the Rapido River, Cassino, Anzio,  and Rome.
