I wonder if someone  knows anything about the activities of the 65th Inf,
Regiment from Puerto Rico     ( trained at ,in,Ft. Buchanan,P.R. ) in Oct.
1950. The 65th arrived in Pusan Sept 23  but there ain't nuttin about them
so far. What happened? Lissening to  Puerto Rican radio programs here
in Orlando,the Central Florida area,one would be led to think that the 
65th  were so brave that they even helped rescue the Marines  from the
claws of the Chinese in Chosin and/or Koto ri  and Hagaru ri campaigns/
battles. Some of them even claim      that Gen. Mac Arthur had said "give
me P R soldiers like those of the 65th and I'll invade China."
Of course,I think THAT is pure,unadulterated  baloney. But,believe it or 
not,there are some people who believe  cockamamie  stories. 
I'd like to know the FACTS ! Can somebody help with some info?
