05/23/2026

Today serves as a reminder that freedom is never free. It has been secured through the courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment of the brave men and women who chose to serve something greater than themselves.

On this Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who never returned home and the families who continue to carry their memory and legacy forward each and every day.

As an organization, we value sacrifice, teamwork, discipline, and service - qualities demonstrated at the highest level by our Armed Forces. Their example inspires us to lead with gratitude, purpose, and appreciation for the opportunities and freedoms we enjoy.

On behalf of the ANSO Board of Directors, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all service members, veterans, and military families within our community. We honor those we have lost and will never forget their sacrifice.

We wish everyone a safe, meaningful, and reflective Memorial Day.

Respectfully,
Col. José L. Montalván
President, ANSO

US Army Medal of Honor Recipient Private Demensio Rivera:

On May 23, 1951 Korea, Private Rivera was serving as an automatic rifleman with the 3d Infantry Division during combat operations against an armed enemy. Early that morning, a large hostile force emerged from a dense fog and viciously attacked Private Rivera and his comrades.

Private Rivera immediately responded by firing with deadly accuracy until his weapon jammed. Without hesitating, he threw his rifle down and began to engage the enemy with his pistol and gr***des. At one point, Private Rivera fearlessly crawled from his emplacement to engage an infiltrating enemy soldier in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

With only the sound of footsteps and obscure shadows to guide his aim, Private Rivera held his position against tremendous odds, inflicting numerous casualties on the enemy until he found himself without ammunition of any kind except one gr***de.

Displaying a peerless fighting spirit and an utterly selfless devotion to duty, Private Rivera pulled the pin from his last gr***de and calmly waited for the enemy to reach his position.

As enemy troops leaped inside his bunker, Private Rivera activated the gr***de with the full knowledge that it meant his almost certain death. When the debris from the explosion had cleared, friendly forces recovered a severely wounded Private Rivera and discovered the bodies of four dead or dying enemy soldiers surrounding him.
