Marine death shows Latino sacrifice in Iraq
Tagged: basketball, brownsville“THE IRAQ WAR has taken a toll on Mexican-American families. Take Kristian Menchaca. He was born in Houston but grew up in Brownsville, Texas. The son of immigrants, he often visited his many cousins on the Mexican side.
Menchaca dropped out of high school and obtained a GED. He loved to play basketball, rooted for the Houston Rockets, and worked at a gas station and at a Wendy’s before enlisting. But hamburgers were not his favorite food. According to friends, he preferred taquitos detrompo con cilantro y cebolla (pork tacos with cilantro and onions).”
