65th Infantry Regiment “Borinqueneers” Bronze Medal – 1.5 Inch
Honor the heroic service and valor of the 65th Infantry Regiment, famously known as the Borinqueneers, with this 1.5-inch bronze miniature of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the regiment. This medal commemorates their pioneering military service, devotion to duty, and courage in the face of adversity during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.
Obverse (Heads): Features a portrait of a fictional Borinqueneer in the foreground, with soldiers in the background in an inverted “V” formation, bayonets fixed, advancing during the Korean War. Inscriptions: “65th INFANTRY REGIMENT” and “BORINQUENEERS.” The Crossed Rifles insignia is displayed at the bottom.
Reverse (Tails): Depicts Castillo de San Felipe del Morro in San Juan, Puerto Rico—a 16th-century citadel and ceremonial parade site of the 65th Infantry Regiment. Inscriptions: “HONOR ET FIDELITAS,” “1899–1956,” “WORLD WAR I,” “WORLD WAR II,” “KOREAN WAR,” and “ACT OF CONGRESS 2014.”
This miniature bronze medal commemorates the pride, sacrifice, and legacy of the Borinqueneers, the last segregated unit of the U.S. Army composed primarily of Puerto Rican soldiers, and makes a meaningful addition to any military or historical collection.
