President ial election and the latino vote. There is no question that 2020 for the first time in our countrys history, latinos were the largest ethnic minority, with 32 million eligible voters and with record numbers of latinos turning out the vote.

She didnt know who those people were. Why am i using my experience . Because when we were on that patrol and this captain was explaining they are often weaponized and people started firing at us, they detonated the bodies, it blew over the humvee in front of us, all this gunfire was all over the place. Don, i swear, i thought i was going to die . A dead man i was haunted for weeks after that. I heard screaming, shots of pain, gunfire.
