  Mr. SOTO. Madam Speaker, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I honor 
Command Sergeant Major Anibal Albertorio. Command Sergeant Major 
Albertorio is what he calls 91 years young. He served as a member of 
the United States Army from l 948 to 1971 as part of the 65th Infantry 
Regiment, also known as the Borinqueneers. He participated as an 
infantryman with them during the Korean War and later participated as 
sky trooper with the 1st Cavalry Division, 7th Cavalry Regiment during 
the Vietnam War.
  During and after his military service, Albertorio received several 
awards including the Korean War Bronze Star Medal for Valor, the 
Vietnam War Bronze Star Medal for Meritorious Service, and the 
Borinqueneers Congressional Gold Medal, among many others.
  Albertorio retired from military service after nearly 23 years and 
successfully retired from the private sector as well. He calls Central 
Florida his home since 1990. To date, Command Sergeant Major Albertorio 
continues to be a spokesperson for the Borinqueneers, carrying the 
torch for his brothers in arms, and keeping their legacy alive. He also 
helps to coordinate and create events to pay tribute to other 
Borinqueneers that have yet to receive a Congressional Gold Medal and 
participates in informative events to educate future generations of 
patriots about the U.S. Army's 65th Infantry Regiment.
  For this and more, we honor Command Sergeant Major Anibal Albertorio.
