The method of research used for this study primarily consists of scholarly journals, books, and documentaries. The research presented in this paper will give better insight into the lives of Latinos as they served in the United States military during the Second World War. It will shine a light on the struggles that Latinos faced, and it will give the reader a new perspective of who Latinos are, and what they have done for America.
