GEN. CREIGHTON ABRAMS was an American hero in the best tradition.
I also call upon my fellow Americans to rededicate themselves to the principle of full and equal opportunity for all citizens.
We will miss him very much.
I think it illustrates the fact that Spanish-speaking Americans were in the very vanguard of the settlement of the new world.
