Thumbs up: To U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Rockledge, for passing bipartisan legislation to bestow Congress’ highest civilian honors on an all-Puerto Rican U.S. Army regiment known as the “Borinqueneers.” The segregated 65th Infantry Regiment was created by Congress in 1898 and served the nation in World War I, World War II and the Korean War, enduring fierce battles. Now, it will receive the Congressional Gold Medal. Posey said the Borinqueneers “have earned their place in history as American heroes.”
