Ese helicóptero está bien chulo! Nunca lo he visto. Es nuevo? Es el reemplazo de los Bell Huey que ya llevan como 50 años en uso?

Ese es un Eurocopter UH-72 Lakota. Tienen varios de esos, más los Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. Nunca los he visto volando un Huey, al menos recientemente.

Ahora que lo mencionas hace tiempo no veo ni escucho los Huey. El sonido de esos helicópteros es inconfundible.

Hundreds of troops, civilians, and family members from the Fort Buchanan community gathered to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the U.S. Army Reserve on Wednesday with a five kilometer hike around the military installation’s perimeter.

“We are celebrating the 105th anniversary of the Army Reserve; a great organization that has supported our nation throughout many conflicts, especially during the last 12 years of war,” said Brig. Gen. Fernando Fernández, senior Army Reserve officer in the Caribbean region.

Created in 1908 as the Medical Reserve Corps, today’s Army Reserve is a key complimentary operational force that supports the entire United States military in combat and training in 148 military occupational specialties.

Today, the Army Reserve represents the largest federal military command in the Caribbean region, with over 5,000 troops assigned, an estimated investment of over $140 million to Puerto Rico’s economy and 12 Reserve centers across the island of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.

Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi is filing legislation in Congress to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the 65th Infantry Regiment, a Puerto Rican unit known as the “Borinqueneers” that built a reputation for bravery in battle.

Pierluisi was being joined by fellow members of Congress and military veterans to announce the introduction of the bill on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

The “Borinqueneers” were created by Congress in 1898 as an all-Puerto Rican segregated unit, and is credited with the final battalion-sized bayonet assault in U.S. Army history.

Called upon to serve in World War I, World War II, and especially the Korean War, the Borinqueneers have consistently shown exceptional and unyielding valor on the battlefield despite the hardships they lived under such as ethnic discrimination.
