CONSEJO REVOLUCIONARIO DE CUBA MENSAJE A LOS JOVENES PATRIOTAS CUBANOS Boletin Informativo No. 5 Febrero 15 de 1963 1700 Biscayne Blvd. Miami, Fla. AGRADECIMIENTO AL PUEBLO AMERICANO El Consejo Revolucionario de Cuba tuvo la feliz iniciativa de señalar eldía 22 de Febrero próximo como DIA DE GRACIAS AL PUEBLO NORTEAMERICANO, eli- giendo esa fecha por ser el natalicio del Primer Ciudadano de esta Nación, el gran li- bertador George Washington. Cuba demostrará, pues, su gratitud al gran pueblo estado- unidense en ese día, por la forma tan generosa en que hemos sido acogidos en esta na- ción, al huir de la barbarie comunista. Varios actos se celebrarán en diversos lugares de los EE. UU., organizados por un Comité Central, formado por Delegados de las Organizaciones que integran el Consejo, y de otros sectores del exilio que han querido sumarse a esta iniciativa que no tiene carácter partidarista ya la cual han sido invitados a colaborar todos los que deseen testimoniar su gratitud a este gran pueblo hermano. En Washington se han programado varios actos que presidirá el Dr. José Miró Cardona, y a los que concurrirá también el Dr. Manuel A. de Varona, Director de Re- laciones Públicas del Consejo, así como otros integrantes del mismo. Entre esos ac- tos está la colocación de una ofrenda floral en la tumba de George Washington, en Mount Vernon. También se colocará otra ofrenda floral en el acto en que se dedicará el homenaje, al cual concurrirán representaciones oficiales de los Estados Unidos. EL GRITO DE BAIRE 1:1 próximo 24 de Febrero Cuba celebrará un nuevo aniversario del luminoso día en que tuvo inicio la gesta li bertaria que nos hizo nación independiente y sobe- rana. Esta efemóridos tienchoy una dramática significación. Cuba sufre de nuevo las cadenas de la esclavitud, pero no son como en el siglo pasado. las de la na- ción progenitora, sino las férreus y sangrientas cadenas que le imponen sus hijos traidores y el comunismo internacional. Vuestra guerra de hoy tiene una más hondu implicación que la que nos e- mancipó de la colonia. Porque durante más de medio siglo, tras una gloriosa gesta de martirio y sacrificio, fuimos un pueblo libre y soberano. Los cubanos responderán a esta nueva llamada de la Patria. La vanguardia de los ejércitos de liberación yu está adiestrándose enlos campos de Fort Jackson impaciente porque llegue lu horu suprema de salvar a Cuba. Lu unión por lu que tanto luchara nuestro Apóstol Martí para lograr la ac- ción liberadora en nuestra guerra del 95, no silo vertebrará en un magno esfuerzo a los cubanos, sino que todos los pueblos de América se hermanarán en la tarea in- soslayable de crradicar de estas tierras de libertad, al monstruo comunista. Esta gran cruzada para independizar " Cuba es más que una guerra por la ertud de una nacion sojuzgada por la barbarie soviética, es la última oportunidad delas democracias para salvaral Continente americano dela esclavitud de esa doc- trina atea disociadora que hu puesto en peligro las conquistas de la civilización.

Document will be reviewed upon request. Miami, March 30, 1991 43 Honorable Connie Mack U.S. Senator. Florida 777 Brickell Ave., Suite 704 Miami, Florida MIAMI CC.: Jorge L. Arrizurieta, Deputy State Director T-530-7103 F-372-3740 Dear Senator Mack: We the undersigned, past members of the Armed Forces of the United States of America who answered the U.S. call to arms during the Cuban-Missile Crisis in October 1962, humbly request your help, support and assistance in order to obtain the necessary recognition from the Senate and Congress of the United States of America and to be awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. The great majority of the Cubans who served in the army at that time had only refugee status and by volunteering into the Armed forces we and our families back in Cuba, became immediate targets for persecution by the Castro Regime. Nevertheless we, who proudly volunteer into the Armed Forces, had only one goal in mind; to Fight for Freedom and Democracy shoulder to shoulder with other American Units against one common enemy, in the spirit and tradition of great men, as Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Lee, Eisenhower, Patton, and many others. It is known, that the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for the Cuban-Missile crisis was awarded to a number of units of the Armed Forces. We, the Cuban-Americans who made up the Cuban Unit During the Missile crisis (October 62- June 1963) deserve to share the recognition. In the past, the United States has recognized and awarded such efforts. The Filipino Units which fought with the U.S. Armed Forces against the Japanese Invasion during WWII are a perfect example. Many of the members of the Cuban Unit, later complemented by returning 2506 Brigade soldiers from Cuban jails went on to serve the United States in Vietnam, Central America, Europe, etc. Some of them are still active, such as Brig. General Eneido Oliva; others died, as Capt. Felix Sosa Camejo (Vietnam). IM MAnTory The Cuban Unit that was organized for the Liberation of Cuba, was instructed since the first day the use of weapons, and it was only after the end of the crisis, that it began regular army training of marching, military courtesy, etc. Also our unit, was distinguished from regular U.S. Units, by our serial numbers. Which all began with the initials, UC instead of US. We Free Cuban-Americans, veterans of the missile crisis, and who have lived in Freedom in the United States, have and always be unconditionally committed to the defense and preservation of Democracy and the Constitutional value of the United Stated of America.

As you know, I have always been supportive of our veterans. I realize that our veterans have sacrificed their lives for freedom and democracy and that some have been denied the benefits and honors which they deserve. However, you need to elaborate more on the facts pertaining to the situation. In your letter, you stated that your unit "was distinguished from regular U.S. units by [your] serial numbers which began with the initials U.C. instead of U.S." If you could provide me with the branch and division numbers of the units involved, as well as any other pertinent information which will assist me in furthering this effort, I would be very appreciative. I need factual information with supporting documentation. Again, thank you for contacting my office. lane Sincerely, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Member of Congress IRL/ct Withdrawal/Redaction Marker Clinton Library DOCUMENT NO.

Senator in the last few weeks, the world has been exposed to many news reports in how close the world came to near nuclear destruction, during the October 1962, Cuban - Missile Crisis. But, what many don't know, is that several thousand young Cuban refugees answering the call to arms by the US. Government, volunteered into the Armed Forces, joining the recently formed Cuban Unit, which was created as an invasion force for the Liberation of Cuba. In our organization C.A.V.A., there are many of those Cuban-Americans veterans, and they are asking; why our unit and ourselves were given not the proper recognition? 23 was given to other units and soldiers who received the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal: Cuba - Oct 24, 1962 to June 1, 1963. In addition, the unit and the individual soldier did not receive the National Service Commendation Medal, nor the good Conduct Medal. As a point of interest, a distinguishing feature that the unit had, was that our serial numbers began with the letters U.C., instead of the regular US. for regular US servicemen.. Senator, many members of the unit went on to fight in other wars and conflicts that the United States have been involved in the last 30 years such as; Viet-Nam, Dominican Republic, etc... fighting and dying for the preservation of democracy and freedom. Many of our comrades in arms are now US citizens, and have remain loyal to the principles of Americanism and Democracy for which this nation stands for.

Fenton 250 Aledo Avenue Coral Gables, Florida 33134 Dear Jorge: In response to the inquiry on your behalf, I have enclosed a copy of the letter I received from the United States Department of the Army. I had hoped to give you a more positive answer, but I regret this is not the case. I trust you will under- stand my limitation in this matter. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if I can help you in any other way. As your United States Senator, I welcome the opportu- nity to serve you in any way that I can. I hope that you will always feel free to call on me. With kind regards, Sincerely, United States Senator BG/cey Enclosure January 18, 1993 Mr. Robert Graham United States Senator United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20515-0903 Dear Senator Graham: Thank you very much for your letter from January 8, 1993, regarding the eligibility for the Expeditionary Medal, specifically the one relating to Cuba, From October 24, 1962, to June 1963. Yes, : am aware of some of the requirements for the medal, but there are extenuating circumstances, which make us (The Cuban Unit), meritorious of such great award, and to name a few, such as; 1) October 1962, the missile crisis is threatening the world, and America, calls for cuban refugees to join the Armed Forces in a unit which was being formed for the Invasion of Cuba. (All the members of the unit were Cubans). 2) We were all refugees, and did not have permanent status in the U.S. 3) By joining the Armed Forces, automatically We were made direct enemies of the Cuban government. (Our names were published in Cuban newspapers, jeopardizing family and friends). 4) We were a fighting unit ready to go, eager to re-estabiish the principles of Democracy as learned in the United States. 5) The area of operations, was global, the United States itself, as many units were mobilized to Key West during the crisis. Senator, my status in the United States, at the time of the Crisis, was "Indefinite Voluntary Departure", as in Limbo, regardless, after graduating from High School, I had registered myself with the Selective Service, (even though it was not required for me). And in the morning of 10/24/1962. I visited the Selective Service Officer in Manhattan, to see what was going on regarding Cuba, and the Selective Service person told me, Son, there is a National emergency, and as a Cuban, you are now being Inducted Into the Armed Forces of the United States, you have the rest of the day to put your affairs in order. You must be at the Whitehall Induction Station tomorrow at 07;00 Hours, the rest is history.

Yes, I am aware of some of the requirements for the medal, but there are extenuating circumstances, which make us (The Cuban Unit), meritorious of such great award, and to name a few, such as; 1) October 1962. the missile crisis is threatening the world. and America, calls for cuban refugees to join the Armed Forces in a unit which was being formed for the invasion of Cuba. (All the members of the unit were Cubans). 2) We were all refugees, and did not have permanent status in the U.S. 3) By joining the Armed Forces, automatically we were made direct enemies of the Cuban government. (Our names were published in Cuban newspapers, jeopardizing family and friends). 4) We were a fighting unit ready to go, eager to re-establish the principles of Democracy as learned in the United States. 5) The area of operations, was global, the United States itself, as many units were mobilized to Key West during the crisis. 6) All our serial numbers began with the letters "UC", Unit-Cuban. 7) Point (F), of the elegibility requirements, leaves a door open for perhaps Congressional approval. Representative Ros-Lehtinen, my status in the United States, at the time of the Crisis, was "indefinite Voluntary Departure", as in Limbo, regardless, after graduating from High School, i had registered myself with the Selective Service, (even though it was not required for refugees). And in the morning of 10/24/1962, I visited the Selective Service Officer in Manhattan, to see what was going on regarding Cuba, and the Selective Service person told me, Son, there Is a National emergency, and as a Cuban, you are now being Inducted into the Armed Forces of the United States, you have the rest of the day to put your affairs In order. You must be at the Whitehail induction Station tomorrow at 07:00 Hours, the rest is history. To me, with less than 2 years in the U.S., every thing was like "Chinese", but it was may duty to go, and I went, like many other Cuban-Americans that were eager to liberate Cuba from the communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro. Perhaps, you can obtain Congressionai approval, to have this medal given to those Cuban-Americans, that participated in the Cuban Unit, during the October Missile Crisis.

(b)(6) 019 Honorable Ileana Ros-Lehtinen House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen: This replies to your letter pertaining to Jorge O. Fenton. To qualify for a military decoration or unit citation during past wars and conflicts, specific requirements had to be met. First, Mr. Fenton's unit had to distinguish itself by heroic actions, meritorious service or meritorious achievement. Even then, awards and decorations were not automatically considered or approved. Second, someone having knowledge of the units deeds had to submit an award recommendation into military channels. Finally, after review by the chain of command, the award had to be approved by a senior field commander and announced in General Orders issued by that command. No entitlement to any military decoration occurred until all of these requirements were met. The time limitations for citing units for service in Cuba from October 24, 1962, to June 1, 1963, has expired. Citations not previously issued can only be authorized by issuance of an Executive order. In the absence of such an order Mr. Fenton's request cannot be favorably considered.
