Ellos nos dijeron "vamos a tener paz aunque tengamos que pelear por ella". Asi que peleamos en las montañas de Heartbreak Ridge y andumos por tierra hasta Inchon. Nos congelamos en el invierno y nos asamos en el erano. Habia momentos en que nos superaban en numero, pero continuamos luchando y muchos de nosotros dimos nuestras vidas por la libertad, la justicia y la paz.
They told us "we are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it." So we fought in the mountains of Heartbreak Ridge and overland to Inchon. We froze in the winter and roasted in the summer. There were times when we were outnumbered, but we continued to fight and many of us gave our lives for freedom, justice and peace.
Erected 1995 by Municipio de Junco, Hon. Gilberto Conde Roman, Alcalde.
