The Latino & Latina World War II Oral History Project at the University of Texas at Austin is looking for Hispanics from the following groups to contribute their stories

• Puerto Rican WWII Vets, including those stationed in Tortugero, and those guarding outposts in the Caribbean
• Men who married foreign War Brides
• Rangers
• Those who served in Military Intelligence
• Women who worked at defense plants or military installations
• Women who worked in mines in the New Mexico/Arizona area
• Women who went to Washington, DC to work for the Civil Service
• War Brides from other countries
• Puerto Ricans who lived in New York City: vets, men who were not in the services and women

If you would like to participate in this project or receive their newsletter, you can call 512-471-1924 or email. Visit the University of Texas project website  for additional information.
