Be Thou At Peace

I never heard of Mr. Olvera until today. Learning of his background and knowing he was of Mexican background inspired me to write something on his behalf.Also knowin g that he was the only Pittsburg, Ca. native to ever be accepted at West Point has a lot of meaning to all Mexicans and hopefully to the youth. I am deeply sad and honored for the example and courage you showed during your lifetime. Thank YOU!
