Intro

Hello, my name is Dave Gutierrez, writer and author of the book Patriots from the Barrio.  The true WWII story of the men that served in the U.S. Army's all Mexican American combat unit, the 36th Division, 141st Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Company E.  I had a relative who served in this unique and historical Army unit.  I can be found also on Facebook and Twitter, (Below).  My goal with this book was to highlight Mexican American contributions to WWII while documenting and preserving the story of the men of Company E.
