Preferred term

Latinos in the military  

Definition

  • The ranks of volunteer and drafted military personnel in the 20th century and beyond have been enriched by the presence of more than a million men and women of Latin American origins. While this population has included Puerto Rican, Cuban, and many other Caribbean, Central American, and South American immigrants and their offspring, the majority of these men and women have been Mexican Americans (“Chicanos”).
